Letter from James McCartney

McCartney: Police Association Backs Basile

The PBA of New York State is pleased to offer our endorsement to Jennifer Basile in her race to become the next Otsego County clerk. During the course of her 14 years of service in the county clerk’s office, she has worked her way up through the ranks, having spent the last seven years learning every aspect of the job as County Clerk Sinnott Gardner’s deputy clerk. The effective administration of the county clerk’s office and local Department of Motor Vehicles is vital to responsive and accountable local government. Simply stated, Jen has the experience, demonstrated capability, and integrity to effectively and efficiently administer one of the most important and busy offices in any county.

James McCartney
President, Police Benevolent Association of New York State
