Integrity. Honor. Civility. These three words describe Waddington Town Supervisor, Alex V. Hammond. I have known Mr. Hammond for many years. He has always conducted himself as a role model to younger children. Mr. Hammond has always shown his love for his community. As an officer in the New York Army National Guard, Alex has also shown his love of country.

As the Waddington Town Supervisor, Alex has helped Waddington maintain her “small town appeal.” He has maintained a steady tax rate and is currently looking into ways of developing Waddington while stimulating the local economy. On a regular basis, Alex has reached out to those of other political ideologies and time again he has built bridges between them.

I am both proud and honored to call Alex a personal role model, mentor, and dare I say, friend. I'm looking forward to casting my vote for him on Election Day, November 3rd. I urge you to do the same.

Hammond, a Democrat, will challenge Republican Assemblyman Mark Walczyk for his 116th Assembly District seat.
