Patricia Noel announced she is running for the North Greenbush Town Board on the Democratic, Working Families Party and Greenbush Party lines.
“I am delighted to be part of a team of candidates who possess the management skills our town desperately needs in these difficult fiscal times,” she said, noting that the town has accumulated a two-year projected general fund deficit of $149,000 and little has been done to reduce spending during the year.
Noel graduated from Russell Sage with a bachelor’s degree in history and government. She served as president of the Wynantskill School Board, the town Youth Board and was elected town clerk. She also has worked in the finance office of Hudson Valley Community College and part time in the town comptroller’s office.
“Managing town finances is a primary responsibility of a Town Board member,” Noel said. We need to plan ahead as a Town Board while implementing strict financial oversight and management principles.
She is running with former Town Board member Richard Fennelly. They are running for two open seats against newcomers Joe Bott and Kelly Hoffman who are running with the Republican, Independence and Conservative Party lines.
Noel and her husband Richard have four grown children and four grandchildren.
