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.
Finally! A Crook you can trust!
Why should you elect me? The answer lies within my goals for 2026.

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, and all because I proudly stand in favor of persons over parties. Those other guys? Not so much!
No matter what challenges I may encounter, I will stand tall on my merits, and if that costs me the win then, just like Frankie, at least I can say I did it my way.
Look, I’m just like you: I am all for legal immigration, but I want illegals out of my city. I know that most of you do too.
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.
You see, I am one of you. I know what my fellow citizens need and want from their mayor. And our next mayor needs to truly care about the city and not his own interests. That man is I.
Help me help you, Albany. I’m in your corner.
