Endorsements
I have known and worked with Mike Marinaccio for many years. He
is a great person to work with. He is the type of government official
that wants to work with you, not against you, for the benefit of
all Broome County residents. Mike has a proven record of hands-on
service to his constituents and is keenly aware of the important
issues facing Broome’s taxpayers.
Sheriff David E. Harder
Broome County Sheriff's Office
It is with a deep sense of responsibility
and pleasure, that I announce my support of Michael Marinaccio in
his run for Broome County Executive.
Michael has shown his leadership abilities as Supervisor of the
Town of Dickinson, and also in his role as President and Vice President
of the Broome County Association of Towns and Villages.
Supervisor Marinaccio is keenly aware of the issues facing the
residents of Broome county, whether they live in Binghamton, Johnson
City, Vestal, and Endicott, or reside as I do, in one of the many
surrounding villages and towns. Michael Marinaccio has the experience
and knowledge in working with, and listening to , both residents
and leaders of Broome County, to find answers and solutions, that
will benefit each and every one of us.
Edward A. Mosher
Supervisor, Town of Colesville
I am honored to be able to provide you
my endorsement.
As a new Town Supervisor you went out of your way to make me feel
comfortable, and included in the various meetings we attended. I
have witnessed first hand your commitment to the municipalities
of Broome County which is a direct commitment to the residents of
Broome County.
I realized early on you are a person that is aware and proactive
regarding the issues that affect each and every person in Broome
County. Whether those issues stem from local, County, State, or
even Federal levels you were willing to dig your heels in and do
what is right for our constituents.
One such issue that is in the forefront is "Consolidation". You
have been steadfast in your decisions on what consolidation makes
sense for your municipality, while not just accepting it wholesale.
Another issue I recall your involvement in was the Sales Tax formula
"re-calculation". This stood to hurt the municipalities financially.
You, along with other Town Supervisors, met with County officials
to work out a plan to help the County whilst having a defined exit
strategy. This exit strategy was the only reason we were able to revert
back to the original formula and regain the revenue stream we (all
the Towns of Broome County) need.
I look forward to your tenure as County Executive, and I foresee good things for the County once you are sworn in.
Scott M. Ellis
Supervisor, Town of Nanticoke
It is a pleasure and an honor to offer
my endorsement for Mike Marinaccio to run for Broome County Executive.
I have known Mike for many years not only as the husband to my younger
sister, but as a public servant coming to me for information or
assistance in serving his community. I can readily attest to his
honesty, family values, and dedication to serve his constituents.
Mike has a proven record of hands-on service having been directly
involved in bringing in new businesses and opportunities in the
Town of Dickinson. In his position as town supervisor, Mike has
successfully balanced the needs of the community while encouraging
economic growth. Mike brings to this race unequaled management experience
from private industry, not-for-profit agencies, and the public sector.
Mike understands business as well as government. His broad range
of experience will serve Broome County well.
I am proud to endorse Mike Marinaccio as a candidate for Broome
County Executive.
Clifford W. Crouch
Assemblyman
I have served as a Trustee and Mayor of
the Village of Port Dickinson Board for 19 years and during this
time I have worked with Town of Dickinson Supervisor Mike Marinaccio
on repeated occasions. Mike has always been a tremendous resource
and friend for our village and other municipalities. He is easily
approachable, always interested in the community and in every single
instance he is there to offer assistance, direction or a solution.
Republicans all over the country are on the firing line this year.
The public wants not just answers but results. I'm looking to you
for both.
Mike Marinaccio is a levelheaded leader with strong work ethics
who will make an exceptional County Executive!
Kevin M. Burke, Mayor
Village of Port Dickinson
It is an honor to offer you my endorsement.
Your background working in the public and private sector along with
your leadership as an elected Town Supervisor makes you uniquely
suited to run as the Republican candidate for Broome County Executive
this year.
Republicans all over the country are on the firing line this year.
The public wants not just answers but results. I'm looking to you

Rick Blythe
Broome County Clerk
It's with great pleasure that I whole
heartily give my endorsement to Mike Marinaccio for Broome County
Executive.
Mike will bring a breath of fresh air to the County Executives
seat that we've been missing. Over the past few years I have worked
with Mike in several different capacities and he has always been
upbeat and willing to take on any challenges that come his way.
Mike's strongest asset is the ability to listen, analyze the problem
an move forward with the correct plan.
Myself, along with numerous other Town Supervisors are glad to
support Mike and look forward to working with him in bringing Broome
County back to our town residences where it belongs.
David Hamlin, Supervisor
Town of Fenton
I wholeheartedly endorse Michael Marinaccio
for the office of Broome County Executive.
I have known Mike for many years both as an elected official and
as an officer in many organizations. Mike is a person of the utmost
integrity. He is a detail person who does spend much time in researching
and studying anything that is brought before him before he makes
a decision. He is committed to the welfare of Broome County.
