Alison Thorne
Someone with a great tagline
I am thrilled to announce my candidacy for Colonie Town Justice! As someone who grew up in the Town of Colonie and now raises my family here, this community holds a special place in my heart.
It was during my junior year at Shaker High School, when I took a class that introduced me to the law, that I first realized my passion for justice. This sparked a journey that has led to nearly 20 years of legal experience.
Why I'm Running
Our town has grown more than 5% since the 2010 census and our local government hasn't kept up. We need fresh eyes and fresh ideas to keep up with the times and keep our town growing.
Experience
I have been a prosecutor at the Albany County District Attorney's office, where I handled a wide range of cases, including felonies, misdemeanors, and vehicle and traffic matters, working in both County Court and local town and village courts across Albany County.
Today, I serve as Assistant General Counsel at the Public Employees Federation, AFL-CIO, where I represent those in public service.
As Colonie Town Justice, I will bring my legal expertise, community-driven values, and dedication to fairness to every case I hear. I am incredibly grateful to have the opportunity to give back to the community that has given me so much.
I look forward to serving the residents of the Town of Colonie.
