 Democratic Candidates

  • Juan Figueroa

    FOR COUNTY SHERIFF

    “I first ran to be Ulster County Sheriff to heal community-police relations, keep our residents safe and counter the federal attack on our immigrant neighbors. My seven years serving the people as their sheriff have been a partnership of mutual respect and a commitment to justly uphold the law. Together, we’ve made Ulster County safer and fairer. With the return of harsh and unconstitutional federal actions, now is not the time to retreat.”

  • Judy Nolfo

    FOR SURROGATE’S COURT JUDGE

    "Surrogate’s Court touches families at some of the hardest moments in their lives. After thirty years immersed in Surrogate's Court law, and currently serving as Principal Court Attorney. I’m running for Surrogate’s Court Judge because every person deserves a Court that is consistent, compassionate, and committed to equal justice under the law."
