Matt Simpson, the Republican candidate for the Lake George region’s seat in the New York State Assembly, has announced that he has secured the endorsement of more than 175 elected village, town, and county officials from throughout the district.
Warren, Essex and several towns in Washington and Saratoga Counties comprise the 114th Assembly District, which is currently represented by Republican Dan Stec.
“These men and women have been entrusted by tens of thousands of voters from the small towns and villages with the North Country’s future. I look forward to putting their invaluable insights to work in Albany and fighting to make sure our voices are heard.”
Simpson says his terms as president of the Association of Adirondack Towns and Villages, as a member of the Adirondack Park Local Government Review Board and of the Warren County Board of Supervisors, have made him familiar with many of the issues that will cross his desk as a legislator representing the Adirondacks.
Among them: declining school enrollments and aging, shrinking populations (although the population of Simpson’s own town has increased, thanks, probably, to retirees making their second homes their year-round residences).
Simpson says two priorities are protecting the Park’s woods and waters and growing small town economies with businesses not unlike Brant Lake’s Hub, a café – performance space – wine, craft beer and cider bar-cum-bicycle repair shop, whose owner has also helped develop and promote northern Warren County’s natural and recreational resources.
Those serving in the Lake George watershed endorsing Simpson include: Lake George Town officials Dennis Dickinson, Vinny Crocitto, Marisa Muratori, Nancy Stannard; Lake George Village officials Bob Blais, John Earl, Raymond Perry; Town of Hague officials Steve Ramant, Council Member, Martin Fitzgerald II, Donald Smith; Bolton officials Ron Conover, Robert MacEwan, Susan Wilson, Tim Coon, Wanda Cleavland, Jodi Pettys, and William Sherman.

August 25, 2020 – Assembly candidate Matt Simpson has received a full endorsement from the New York State Troopers Police Benevolent Association.
“I’m honored to receive support of our New York State Troopers in my campaign to represent the 114th Assembly District,” said Simpson. “These courageous men and women continue to put their lives at risk day in and day out without hesitation. As your representative in Albany, I will proudly stand alongside our law enforcement officials and fight to ensure they are provided with the respect and resources they deserve while they stand guard and watch over our communities.

175 elected village, town and county officials endorse Matt Simpson
Matt Simpson has announced the endorsement of over 175 elected village, town, and county officials from throughout the North Country to serve as our next Representative in the 114th New York State Assembly.
This bipartisan network of voter representatives from across the district illustrates confidence in Matt’s understanding of the grassroots issues that matter to the people who live and work inside the 114th District.
“Matt Simpson has enjoyed the support of his constituents as their Town Supervisor for the past seven years in addition to serving as President of the Adirondack Association of Towns and Villages. Between providing the day to day services of Horicon and his leadership with AATV, Matt has become well informed of the North Country region’s needs that are vital to our daily existence,” says Craig Randall, Mayor for the Village of Lake Placid. “Together with Matt’s previous experience operating a small business in the district for many years makes him an ideal choice to represent us in Albany. I welcome the opportunity to support a fellow community leader and am pleased to provide my support for Matt in his quest to represent our 114th Assembly District.”
“Matt Simpson has the integrity, work ethic, and exceptional knowledge of the issues confronting the residents of the 114th Assembly District,” explains Sam Hall, Chairman of the Washington County Board of Supervisors. “There is nobody who can better serve and represent the everyday people of the North Country.”
“I believe Matt Simpson is the best candidate to represent our Assembly District. He knows all the issues which affect each individual and the fundamental challenges the state is facing as well.” Added Kevin Geraghty, Supervisor for Town of Warrensburg
“I am honored to have the support of individuals who have committed themselves to public service,” says Matt Simpson. “These men and women have been entrusted by tens of thousands of voters from the small towns and villages of the North Country to work towards building a better today and tomorrow. I look forward to putting their invaluable insights to work in Albany and fighting to make sure our voices are heard.”
