WOW---WOW---WOW----NEW FROM THE CROTON CHRONICLE---VOICE OF CROTON CANDIDATES LOSE ELECTION BUT SCORE MASSIVE & HISTORIC TALLIES FOR A CROTON WRITE-IN CAMPAIGN

Welcome to Everything Croton, (while the New One is down) a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools, our houses of worship--in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.

Commentary: Voice of Croton candidates lose the election for two trustee seats but score massive and historic tallies for a Croton write-in campaign.

These impressive results can only be seen as a serious message to Croton Democrats that a substantial segment of the village wants them to slow down development.

MICHAEL BALTER---THE CROTON CHRONICLE--11/22/2024

The first thing to note, of course, is that Maria Slippen and Len Simon have won the two trustee seats, as the Chronicle projected earlier. This should really come as no surprise: Write-in campaigns are notoriously difficult, especially in a highly contentious presidential election year when “Vote Row A All the Way” makes a lot of sense to Democratic voters in our village.

That makes the achievement of Voice of Croton all the more important and impressive. It would be reasonable to expect everyone in the village, no matter what their views, to acknowledge that. We have researched the subject and find no evidence that any write-in candidate in modern Croton history has come even close to these tallies. The last major write-in campaigns, by the late Ginny Calcutti, were highly visible efforts, and her highest score—nearly 800 votes—has been considered to be very impressive for the past decade.  SEE THE NUMBERS AND READ MORE AT Commentary: Voice of Croton candidates lose the election for two trustee seats but score massive and historic tallies for a Croton write-in campaign.
