I wish to thank all the voters in the Town of North Elba for your support. Even running unopposed, I’m truly humbled by the confidence you’ve placed in me. Your trust means a great deal, and it reminds me just how special this community is.

I also want to take a moment to thank Supervisor Derek Doty for his leadership, his friendship, and his steadfast dedication to the Town of North Elba. Derek’s commitment to this community has set a high bar, and I hope to carry that same spirit of service forward in the work we do together.

As we look ahead, I’m excited to continue working with our capable and committed town council members and to welcome our new councilman, Jack Moulton. Together, we’ll keep our focus on what matters most — being fiscally responsible, strengthening our infrastructure, addressing the housing challenges that affect so many, and continuing to collaborate closely with the village, ORDA, ROOST, and, of course, the residents who make North Elba such a remarkable place to call home.

Our community has always shown what’s possible when people come together with purpose and pride. I’m honored to be part of that spirit and eager to get to work on the opportunities ahead.

Thank you again for your trust and support. It’s a privilege to serve the people of the Town of North Elba.

Richard (Rick) Preston
