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.”

ROCKLAND COUNTY, NY — Brett Yagel, the former Mayor of the Village of Pomona has officially announced his candidacy for the New York State Assembly in the 96th District.

Below you can read Yagel’s full announcement:

“I am proud to announce that I am seeking the support of the Republican and Conservative Parties as a candidate for the New York State Assembly in the 96th District.
I am not a career politician. I am a problem solver. As Mayor and as a professional working for one of the world’s largest defense contractors, I have spent my career focused on results, accountability, and getting complex jobs done the right way. Leadership and responsibility are not abstract concepts to me. They are values I have lived every day in public service and in the private sector.

Albany is broken. It is dominated by career politicians who create problems, expand government, and then ask for more power to fix the very messes they created. The people of the 96th District deserve better than politics as usual.

Our district needs a leader with real world experience, common sense, and the courage to challenge the status quo. I am ready to bring accountability, fiscal responsibility, and practical,
results driven solutions to Albany. Most importantly, I will be a strong and independent voice for the hardworking families of the 96th District.

If you are tired of excuses and ready for real results, I would be honored to earn your support.”

Yagel will running against incumbent Assemblyman Patrick Carroll.

Congressman Mike Lawler Announces Bid for Reelection to Congress, Will Not Run for Governor

By

Rockland County, NY — Congressman Mike Lawler, a lifelong Rockland County resident and graduate of Suffern High School, officially announced today that he will seek reelection to the U.S. House of Representatives, putting to rest speculation that he might enter the race for Governor of New York.

Lawler, who represents New York’s 17th Congressional District, said his decision to remain focused on Congress reflects his commitment to continuing the work he’s started on behalf of Hudson Valley residents. Since taking office in January 2023, Lawler’s office has closed over 6,000 constituent service cases and successfully returned more than $27.2 million to residents throughout the district.

One of his signature achievements has been his leadership in reforming the State and Local Tax (SALT) deduction cap. Under Lawler’s advocacy, the SALT cap was quadrupled to $40,000, providing significant tax relief to middle-class families across the region for the next ten years.

Lawler’s decision not to run for governor preserves his role as a key Republican voice in a competitive swing district, and positions him for what is expected to be a closely watched race in 2026.
