Hi! My name is Blake Savoy and I'm running for Danby Town Clerk! I moved to Danby almost a year and a half ago and quickly fell into the groove. I've been working in the Clerk's Office for over a year, training under the current Clerk Mariah Dillon and Deputy Clerk Cindy Katz. In April, I attended the New York State Town Clerks Association's annual conference and learned even more about being a town clerk. Every time people come in, whether it's for a dog license, a marriage certificate, or a question that sends us looking into records from before any of us were born, I look forward getting to say, "How can I help you?".

The thing that inspires me the most about Danby is the community. I think it can be much harder to find community in places that aren't "walkable"- there are just fewer happenstance opportunities. But I see people in our community counteract that everyday. Grabbing a coffee, meeting up to go hiking, or just stopping by to catch up. I'm glad to be a part of that, and I hope to get to keep doing it as Danby's next town clerk!
