Re-elect Fritz to Verona board

I, Councilman Fred “Fritz” Scherz Jr. from Verona, am announcing that I am officially running again for re-election to the Verona Town Board in this year’s upcoming election. I have earned endorsements from the following political parties: Conservative, Independence, and Republican.

I want to thank the political parties that endorsed me, the volunteers that carried my designating petitions for me, and all the people that signed my designating petitions, helping me get on the ballot again. Regarding my candidacy for re-election again, since I got elected to the town board, I’ve tried to work smart for residents of our town. I feel I have the work record to prove I’ve kept these folks in mind while serving as councilman. I know there is more work to be done and I embrace the opportunity to do so. I believe my 21+ years of work experience in government, work ethic, sense of community, determination and willingness to continue working with members of various political parties makes me an ideal candi- date for re-election as councilman on the Verona Town Board.

I’m hopeful residents of the Town of Verona will give me the opportunity again to continue serving them, as I would be honored to do so.

Since being elected to the Verona Town Board, I have created the Fred Scherz Sr. Memorial Scholarship for Volunteer Community Service and awarded more than $2,000 in scholarships to graduating 12th grade students from the Town of Verona. I have also hosted seven holiday parties for town residents and six “thank you” dinners for town veterans. In 2013, I was one of eight honorees to win a Follow the Leader Award from Leadership Mohawk Valley.

Additionally, since 2013, I have served as president of the Oneida County Association of Towns. In 2014, I was inducted into the Vernon-Verona-Sherrill High School Wall of Fame.

Election Day is Nov. 7, with polls open from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. For more election information, go to the New York State Board of Elections website: www.elections.ny.gov.
