During the past couple of years, I have had contact with Jennifer Basile, who is running for Otsego County clerk. She has helped me more times than I can count with my county clerk business. I highly recommend her as our new Otsego County clerk.…
I’m excited to share my support of MacGuire Benton for Otsego County clerk. I have known MacGuire since he worked at the Otsego County Board of Elections as deputy commissioner. He has always been interested in honoring veterans and especially the veterans of Otsego County.…
I am writing to express my opinion on the upcoming Otsego County clerk election. It is imperative that the right candidate be chosen for the position to ensure that the clerk’s office and DMV are managed effectively. In this regard, I strongly believe that Jennifer Basile is the right candidate for the job.…
On behalf of the Otsego County Council of Senior Citizens, I write to express our gratitude for the success of the 2023 Annual Otsego County Senior Citizens Picnic. It was held at the Glimmerglass State Park on August 9 and had 212 registered seniors for the event. The day was spectacular!…
I worked with hundreds—maybe thousands—of public servants during my decades of serving our region as state senator. There’s no question that Jennifer Basile is one of the best of the bunch.

As a voter, your responsibility is to choose the candidate whom you believe is best suited for the position you are voting for. In the Otsego County clerk race, there are two candidates that are running. One candidate boasts over a decade of experience in the County Clerk’s Office, while the other candidate has absolutely no prior experience in this role. One candidate has been appointed by our current county clerk for two terms for reasons that are obvious.…
We have two candidates in the running for Otsego County clerk. Jennifer Basile, a paralegal, and a notary who has been working in that office for 14 years. Jennifer has been the deputy clerk for seven of those years. She knows the complex workings of that office inside in out. Local attorneys who are a prime source of the documents maintained by the office give her great reviews.…
How, on a personal level, are we trying to save the planet from global warming? Since 2016, we got 42 solar panels installed by using my retirement money. We are saving five to 10 trees each month, or a carbon offset of 450-900 pounds per month. By August 2023, we will have saved 420-840 trees with a carbon offset of 37,800-75,600 pounds.…
