STONY POINT, NY – Meet Amy Conklin-Stamm, candidate for Stony Point Town Supervisor. Amy is running for Supervisor because she cares deeply about the future of Stony Point. Amy is a lifelong Stony Pointer, proud to raise her family in the same town where she grew up. Her husband Brian and her have two sons — Michael, 22, and Ben, 20 — and like so many families here, we want to see Stony Point continue to be a safe and welcoming community for future generations. Amy is running because she wants to ensure that Stony Point remains a strong, thriving, and united community for generations to come.

Amy has served as Confidential Assistant to the Supervisor and currently as Deputy Supervisor, where she’s gained extensive experience in the day-to-day town operations. She has worked closely with residents, town staff, and community groups to address local needs and move important projects forward.

Amy’s top priorities include:

– Updating the Town’s Master Plan: I will form a committee of residents and business owners to update the town’s master plan. This is essential to guide responsible growth, preserve our community’s character, and ensure we’re planning for the future.
– Creating a Rental Registry: To help maintain safe and well-kept housing, I will establish a rental registry that promotes accountability among landlords and helps the town monitor rental properties more effectively.
– Increasing Transparency: I will ensure all Town Board meetings are recorded and broadcast so residents can stay informed, even if they can’t attend in person.

Current Supervisor Jim Monaghan, who is retiring after serving 10 years as Town Supervisor says, “Amy is running for the right reasons. She’s honest, hard-working, intelligent, and she cares about Stony Point. I feel confident that with Amy as Supervisor, the Town will be in good hands.”
