KINGSTON – Kingston resident Jennifer Schwartz Berky announced Saturday that she is a candidate for Ulster County legislator in the Seventh District. She will run for the seat currently held by fellow Democrat Legislator Jeannette Provenzano, who is not seeking reelection so she can run for alderman-at-large in the City of Kingston.
Berky has served as deputy director of planning in Ulster County Government where she wrote the county’s open space plan, secured grant funding for county projects, was the county’s coordinator of the charter commission, and founded the county’s Main Street program.
Democrat County Legislator David Donaldson said Berky “will be an excellent candidate and legislator.”
