Alison Jolicoeur
The Working Together Independent Line
Formed by Alison Jolicoeur and community advocates, Shawn Keeler, and David Axin— together we created the Working Together Independent line to give every resident a voice beyond party labels. Too often, politics divides us, but local government should be about solutions, not partisanship.
Alison's Vision
-
Streamline Permitting – Enable electronic submission of permit applications for business and property owners to make the process faster, more transparent, and easier to navigate.
-
Independent Oversight – Establish a committee, which would include local contractors and architects to review zoning codes and assess building and development procedures for fairness and clarity.
-
Update Comprehensive Plan – In May of 2026, under Alison's leadership, the Town was awarded a grant from the Hudson River Valley Greenway to update the Town's Comprehensive plan, which has not been updated since 2007.
-
Regional Collaboration – Partner with neighboring communities to expand opportunities for economic development, ecosystem regeneration, and access to locally produced farm-fresh food.
-
Responsive Government – Foster leadership that actively listens and works with residents through regular town halls, clear communication, and genuine collaboration with all interested parties.
