Caruso seeks county's 14th legislative district seat
HIGHLAND MILLS-Republican and town of Woodbury resident Ralph Caruso has announced his candidacy for the Orange County Legislature's 14th Legislative District, saying "It's time for a change."
The 14th Legislative District covers all six election districts in the Town of Highlands and eight of ten election districts in the Town of Woodbury. Democrat Roxanne Donnery is the two-term incumbent.
"The present legislator has had eight years in office, leaving much undone," Caruso said in his press announcement. "There are major issues remaining to be accomplished, such as finding alternate financial resources to fund schools, while relieving the property owner of this tax burden, reducing traffic congestion, improving air quality, controlling growth, securing additional county and local government revenue sources and arranging an amicable agreement between West Point and Town of Highlands to supply drinking water for Ft. Montgomery residents."
Caruso, who has lived in the town of Woodbury for more than 35 years, is a New York State Senate staff member, working closely with state Sen. William J. Larkin Jr., R-C-Cornwall-on-Hudson. He is retired from the New York City Transit Authority where he was a superintendent of electrical operations. Caruso also held many governmental positions, both elected and appointed, as town councilman, chairman of the Zoning Board of Appeals and as a member of the Board of Police Commissioners, the Board of Health, the Architectural Review Board and the Orange County Human Rights Commission.
He has a bachelor of science degree in business management and political science and has served in the United States Naval Air, where he received an Honorable Discharge.
He and his wife of 39 years, Jeanette, have three daughters and a son and seven grandchildren.
