Abe Uchitelle
Candidate for Ulster County Legislator, District 5
Includes part of the City of Kingston
"All residents of Ulster County deserve quality affordable housing. For far too long the legislature has not delivered this promise, despite repeated attempts to do so. With the 2024 term ushering in new members to the legislature, I am confident we can finally bring these programs to fruition for Ulster County families."
About Abe
Abe is running for reelection to continue representing Kingston in the Ulster County Legislature. Abe has fought to keep families in their homes, proposed measures to protect tenants, worked to improve housing quality for tenants while maintaining affordability, and fought to ensure equity for excluded workers. Abe’s biggest priority for the current term is to make a precedent-setting investment in affordable housing.
In his professional career outside of government Abe has led a digital marketing agency based in Kingston, lead operations for a workforce development non-profit based in Albany, and recently founded a GovTech startup.
Abe’s Priorities
Affordable Housing Investment
In collaboration with the county executive, Abe has proposed the first-ever county grant program to create new units of affordable housing.
Emergency Housing Improvements
Abe is working to ensure that the county improves the emergency housing available to residents in their greatest moment of need.
Improving Emergency Services
At this point our response to the climate crisis will require the most robust emergency services the county can muster to ensure the safety of our residents.
