TROY – The North Lansingburgh Neighborhood Watch has endorsed Republican District 1 candidate Jim Gordon and incumbent Democratic At-Large candidate John Brown for the upcoming election.

The endorsements were revealed as part of a recent news release from neighborhood group chairman Chris Lambersten, treasurer Darlene Simpson, and co-chairperson Lenny Kluz.

“Jim has been an active leader in the group since its inception,” wrote the group in their release. “Jim is young, energetic and has a proven commitment to the Lansingburgh community as a watch leader and organizer. Jim Gordon will be a tireless
advocate for the ‘Burgh.’”

As for Brown, while he does not live in Lansingburgh, the organizers noted that he has consistently participated in their meetings and has supported matters as a City Council member that are beneficial to all communities in the city.

“John has demonstrated that he is above the usual and often stalemated Troy party politics,” they wrote.
