Erie County Democrats tonight unanimously endorsed Mark C. Poloncarz for another term as county executive.
“No county executive has ever earned reelection more than Mark Poloncarz,” said ECDC Chair Jeremy J. Zellner. “For the first time in 50 years, Erie County is growing and entering a new era of prosperity under Mark’s leadership.
“While guiding us through the worst public health crisis in a century, he has lowered property taxes, raised the county’s financial rating to its highest in more than a decade, kept the Bills in Buffalo, devoted record resources to new roads and infrastructure, and, most of all, upheld the values of fairness, compassion, and equality that define us as Democrats.
“I am always proud to call Mark Poloncarz my friend, and never prouder to stand with him as he seeks four more years as our Erie County Executive.”
“It has been a privilege to serve the people of Erie County as their Executive, and together we have overcome adversity, found common ground, and laid the foundations for a better future,” Poloncarz said.
“Our resilient Erie County is gaining population and new business, even as we have kept taxes low, broken ground on projects that languished for decades, and fought to ensure that children, working families, and older adults are supported in our community.
“These are bedrock Democratic principles, and earning the endorsement of the Democratic Party underscores my commitment to building a better Erie County for all, for today and as a lasting legacy.
“Our best is yet to come, and I thank the Erie County Democratic Committee, and everyone interested in a better future for county residents, for their support.”
Poloncarz was first elected in 2011 after winning the county comptroller’s office in 2005 and 2009.
