Ken Zalewski for Rensselaer County Legislature

fficial, combining technology with a strong work ethic in order to make government more accessible, transparent, and efficient for the residents of our city. Throughout my fourteen years of service to the people of Troy, I have drafted and passed meaningful legislation that has enriched the quality of life for thousands of residents. Legislation such as the Landlord Registry, the Vacant Building Registry, and enhancements to the Nuisance Abatement law continue to be utilized by city officials on a daily basis to improve our neighborhoods. In my full-time job, I work at the New York State Senate managing a group of programmers. I am a past recipient of the Best of New York award for "Excellence in IT Operations, Support, and Service", and my work on the NYSenate.gov public website has earned it the Best Legislative Website in the U.S. award from the National Conference of State Legislatures. I am excited to take my work as a City Councilor in District 5, and apply it to the entire city of Troy. I believe that Troy's citizens should expect more from our County Legislators, and I will lead the charge to make that happen.
