Why I'm Running For Legislature
Integrity & Vision
It's time for some "homegrown" energy in the Albany County Legislature -- and that energy is David J. Lussier. Dave grew up and lives in the Albany area. Before earning a degree in Sociology with a minor in Urban Planning at SUNY Albany, Dave attended local Bethlehem schools. He is currently working in construction, repairing water & fire damaged buildings in and around the Capital Region. He is also pursuing a Masters in Urban and Regional Planning from SUNY Albany.Dave has worked hard to improve the quality of life in Albany, including organizing numerous neighborhood cleanups, serving as Vice President of the Washington Square Neighborhood Association, and promoting local participation in community life.
Dave will bring this focused and intelligent enthusiasm to the County Legislature. He's also committed to a healthy environment, sustainable development, affordable housing and health care for Albany's residents. Dave would like to see us reduce costs for Medicaid for the county through bulk purchasing of medication for seniors, which would have the added benefit of lowering their costs at the pharmacy.
He would also like to see homeowners' energy costs reduced; we could easily institute a bulk purchasing program for heating oil, and eventually a municipal power corporation akin to Green Island's to offset New York's high energy costs.
Most importantly, Dave knows community voice in local government is critical to our success. Albany County will only prosper if its neighborhoods and stakeholders are engaged in a common dialogue. Dave will unite people to bring about future-focused, common sense solutions.
That's why Dave needs your vote on
