MARBLETOWN >> Town Board member Doug Adams has announced his candidacy for the Ulster County Legislature seat in District 18 (Marbletown, Hurley).
A Democrat, Adams said in a press release that he is running to “reunite Democrats in the Legislature and to support County Executive Mike Hein’s progressive agenda for Ulster.”
“I consider myself a Democrat’s Democrat and if elected pledge to work closely with my fellow Democratic legislators,” Adams said in the release.
He is running for the seat currently held by Democrat Richard Parete, D-Accord, who has not announced his election plans.
