Michael Crook for Mayor of Albany!

 

“A Crook for A Better Albany!”

I am pleased to announce that, on January 1, 2026, I will be the 76th mayor of Albany, New York.  It’s the right thing to do!  And, hey, what’s one more crook in Albany’s government?

I will be running with no political affiliation whatsoever and it is my campaign promise to make the city better than you can remember.

Why should you elect me?  The answer lies within my goals for 2026.

Keep up to speed by checking out my campaign blog regularly. You can also sign up for email updates.

Given that I have no loyalties toward any political party, I can focus on you, the Albany citizen, without any backroom deals or hidden agendas, in favor of persons over parties.

I am one of you.  I am active in my church and community, helping, among other things, Vietnam veterans.  I also volunteer to help with other causes.  The Albany community means a lot to me and I want to give back by serving as its 76th mayor.

If you would like to invest in a better, brighter Albany, please consider donating to my campaign today.

I am in touch with the needs of Albany’s citizens.  Political experience?  I have none, but that just means I can serve my fellow citizens better than any other candidate.  No, I am not a politician, but you see, I am one of you.  I know what my fellow citizens need and want from their mayor.

I run my campaign like I will run my mayorship: with fiscal responsibility.  Just like I won’t let my campaign get into debt, I won’t let debt happen to Albany either.  I know how to manage money.

Just as I do more with less in my personal life, I will bring that mentality into City Hall from the moment I take office.  Don’t give any of my opponents the key to City Hall.  That key belongs to me.

I have no committee in my corner.  No volunteers.  No staff.  It’s just me and a grassroots effort to make a better Albany in 2026.

Help me help you, Albany.  I’m in your corner.

In the interests of full disclosure, I would like to briefly address something from my past.
