Moore To Run for Supervisor

HARTWICK—Longtime Hartwick resident Cody Moore, the owner and operator of Cooperstown Equestrian Park, has announced her candidacy for this November’s election for Town of Hartwick town supervisor.

Born in Cooperstown and raised in Hartwick, Moore brings with her experience in board and community service, having worked as a member of the Cooperstown Central School Board of Education for three years. During that time, Moore gained valuable knowledge working with other board members and the school’s faculty and staff, all while gaining insight into the inner workings of the school district.

“As Hartwick town supervisor,” Moore explained,” I want to keep taxes stable and affordable so that young people will be motivated to stay in the area and families will maintain a desire to live in Hartwick and retire here. I am concerned about long-term housing and about issues connected to the school district, which affect Hartwick directly.”

Moore’s philosophy includes a strong belief in maintaining ways to help the youth of Hartwick.

“It is essential that we continue—and not needlessly eliminate—programs like our Summer Program, which are vital to families and their children. We also need to make progress on our new community center, so that families will have a place to go for recreation and other extracurricular activities.”

Moore also has experience in the business world, having owned and operated Zemi Farm (2005-2012) prior to the purchase of and incorporation into the Cooperstown Equestrian Park in 2013. In 2003, Moore graduated with an associate of applied science degree from SUNY Cobleskill in equine science. She later worked as an adjunct instructor at SUNY Cobleskill from 2010-2012.

Moore’s interests involve local businesses across the board and the farming industry.

“I have every intention of working to create a better environment for small businesses, while also encouraging and supporting farmers in what they do. This is all essential to Hartwick.”

As a youth, Moore was active in 4-H, Pony Club and Future Farmers of America. At a young age, she showed her leadership skills and dedication to national programs that develop leadership and responsibility that continue today.

As an independent business owner, Moore will have more flexibility to attend government-based training sessions and adapt quickly to the demands of a town supervisor.
