Joel wants to run for the Colonie Town Board because he wants to do the right thing for our community. He want to make sure that the decisions made in Colonie will have a positive impact for generations to come. We should be looking to improve our infrastructure and manage the town so that it is sustainable for the long term. Joel’s training as an infection preventionist has taught him that every decision made should substantiated with facts and data. Our information was always being submitted to government agencies, and we believed in the mantra of “prove your life.” Joel want to bring that level of trust and responsibility to the Town Board.
