Welcome to claverack.org, the website of the Claverack Democratic Committee of Claverack, New York, in Columbia County.

Here's what you'll find on our site:

• Election 2005: Final results; position papers on agriculture, jobs, taxes and assessments, young people, older people, Philmont, and development; and how and why our government should expose its workings to the light of day, and welcome those who want to participate.
• Town Government: An overview of the governing bodies of Claverack and Philmont: Who holds elected and appointed positions, how you can contact them, when and where meetings are held, and meeting minutes, some otherwise available only via the Freedom of Information Law (FOIL).
• Democratic Party: Your Election District representatives and how to contact them. The names, chairs, members, and initiatives of subcommittees.
• Calendar: Upcoming events, meetings, etc., along with an ever-expanding archive of public notices related to Claverack and Philmont. We miss some, but it’s a pretty long list, and worth reviewing—particularly if there's an issue that concerns you.
• News: Newspaper articles, editorials, letters to the editor, and even political ads that relate to Claverack and Philmont. Like the meetings and notices, we don't get them all, but we do get most, especially after Spring 2005. It's no substitute for a newspaper, but it is a ready resource when you want to investigate an issue or look up an article you remember.
• Links: A list of interesting and important websites, categorized under these headings: municipalities, citizens groups, commerce/land use/sustainability, Democrats, government, newspapers, and tourism/attractions.
• Contacts: Use this page to give us your feedback about claverack.org—ideas for links and content, your likes and dislikes, and questions you may have.

We hope you'll bookmark claverack.org and come back regularly. We hope you'll support the Claverack Democrats. And we especially hope you'll register to vote and then exercise your right to do so. Thanks for visiting. Thanks for voting.
