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 consistently checking out my campaign blog.  Learn more about what Day One will look like under my leadership.

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

I am one of you.  I am active in my church, where I volunteer to help in its effort to feed the hungry.  I am also active in the community, especially with helping 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.

Unlike those other folks, I am more in touch with the needs of Albany’s citizens. None of my opponents know how it really is.  Some may say they know, but I am the only one who truly does.  Forget the rest and vote for the best!

Experience?  I have none, but that just means I can serve my fellow citizens better than any other candidate.  Also, I served my country.  Or at least I tried.  Can the other guys say that?  No, their lives have been all about them and no one else.  I am all about you, my fellow Albany citizens.

No, I am not a politician, but that just makes me the best candidate for the job!  Those other candidates want to serve their own interests, not Albany’s.  They are, in my opinion, real bad hombres with questionable integrity, in my opinion.

You see, I am one of you.  I know what my fellow citizens need and want from their mayor.  They don’t!  They’ll try to distract you with flashy signs and mailings and other fancy things.  I don’t need any of that, because my only concern is for Albany, not for bling.

I run my campaign like I will run my mayorship: with fiscal responsibility.  I won’t let my campaign get into debt.  I won’t let that happen to Albany either.  I know how to manage money, especially since I have none.

I run lean and mean, even if it means going without the bells and whistles that my opponents will likely use.

Because I am wise with money and lack thereof, I won’t drive Albany into more debt than it’s already in.  I will use taxpayer funds wisely.  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.
