Sauerbrey Announces Run for Re-Election

Martha Sauerbrey is officially an-

nouncing her run for the Tioga County

Legislature representing District 2.

Martha Sauerbrey, Marte as she is

better known, has served on the Tioga

County Legislature since 2005. Marte

serves as committee chair of Public

Safety which includes Road Patrol,

Corrections, DWI Program, Probation,

Fire Safety, and the Office Emergency

Management. For the past three years

she has served as Deputy Chair of the

Legislature.

Marte’s focus on the legislature has

been to keep property taxes low. For

the past several years she worked on a

special budget committee whose goal it

was to cut costs and reduce the size of

government by working on creative

ways to reduce spending.

“Responsible fiscal management is

of utmost importance; taxes must be

kept low yet we must serve the needs

of the community. It is critical that

Tioga County keep taxes down,” says

Sauerbrey. “The two largest concerns

of people in my district are taxes and

jobs. My goal is to reduce taxes and

get more jobs in Tioga County.”

Marte and her husband Lew are

lifelong residents of Tioga County.

They live in the Village of Owego;

have four grown children and one

grandchild. Marte is employed by the

Tioga County Chamber of Commerce

and serves as President and CEO of

that organization.

Most recently Marte was recog-

nized by the Susquehanna Chapter of

NYS Women Inc. as 2010 Women of

Achievement.

Marte is practical and good at prob-

lem solving. She is proud to represent

her constituents and listens and acts on

their concerns. Over the years Marte

has worked to develop a positive work-

ing relationship with county employees

and legislators. She fells strongly that

government can be responsive and

efficient, bringing the best value to the

Tioga County taxpayers.

Joe Doty announces Candidacy

for the Town of Candor Supervisor

Joe Doty, one of six children, was

born and raised in the Southern Tier. Joe

lives in the town of Candor with his wife

and five children. He has been an active

member in this community for the past

twenty years.

Joe Doty has over a decade of man-

agement experience. Whether it is a

group of four employees or as many as

three dozen, Joe has successfully exer-

cised his management skills to benefit

the parent company.

Of his time in the work force, Joseph

Doty spent nearly twenty years working

with customers one-on-one. His main

priority in that time was to ensure the

best treatment of anyone and everyone

walking through his doors.

Wanting to take a leadership role in

his community, Joseph Doty has been

involved in town events for years. He

has volunteered for local initiatives of-

ten, working to better his community.

Joe was most recently elected to a three-

year position on the Board of Directors

in the Tioga Chamber of Commerce in

2007 and serves on the Leadership Tioga

Advisory Board.

Joe feels strongly that open communi-

cation between the citizens and elected

members of government is extremely

important. “It‟s important to hear from

the community about their concerns,

what they care about and what is im-

portant to them. That is what I plan to

do” says Doty. “Teamwork is critical in

getting things done.”

Ryan Crispell (16) a member of Boy Scout Troop 32 in Apalachin, son of Wayne and Cindy Crispell, is pictured above working on his Eagle Scout Project along with Marty Donovan. Ryan has been in scouting since he was in 1st grade. For his Eagle Scout Project, Ryan chose to recoat fire hydrants in Apalachin. Ryan noticed that over the years the hydrants had become faded. Our volunteer firefighters need to be able to easily see and access the hydrants during a fire emergency. This project was very important to Ryan because he is currently a member of the Apalachin Fire Department and plans to pursue a career in Fire Science.
