Ulster Strong Launches County Candidate Survey on Key Economic, Housing, and Sustainability Issues - Launches Media Campaign Providing Voters Candidate Responses to Survey

In its latest initiative to raise awareness of local elections and inform the public of Ulster County candidates’ views on key economic issues including housing, jobs, sustainability and economic development, Ulster Strong is reprising its campaign ‘What’s The Plan?’.  The initiative includes a survey submitted to over 140 local candidates for policy-making positions for County and Town offices.  Candidate survey results are published, unedited, on the Ulster Strong website for the public’s review and reference. The initiative also includes ad buys on local news sites and social media to promote awareness of the campaign and link to candidates’ responses to the survey.

“When Ulster Strong first launched the initiative this spring for the primaries, we hoped it would spark greater interest in local elections and the key issues surrounding economic development, sustainability and housing” says Tony Marmo, President of Ulster Strong. “Not only did it meet our exceptions, but feedback on the campaign was so positive we decided to reprise it for the general election” says Marmo.  

The promotional phase of the initiative launches October 18th and runs through until Election Day, November 7th. Early voting begins October 28th.  To view the list of candidates and their responses to the survey, visit:  https://www.ulsterstrong.com/ulster-election-2023-1
