Carole C. Weaver Candidate
Rensselaer County Legislator
District 1- Troy

Meet the Candidate!

BACKGROUND INFORMATION

I am a hard-working, self-starter who is resourceful, creative and solution-oriented constantly seeking new and innovative approaches to solving problems.

I have put my hat in the ring to run for this democratically filled seat to help expand adult and youth recreation opportunities in Troy;  Foster greater resource sharing among local municipalities to save tax dollars and promote operating efficiencies and provide accessible and responsive constituent service. 

​

PERSONAL

I have worked over 37 years for the State of New York within the criminal justice umbrella.  I worked my way up the ranks and retired as an Assistant Public Information Officer for the Board of Parole.  Throughout those years, I have dealt with victims of crime, spoken to parents of felons, discussed goals and objectives with County Probation Departments statewide regarding their drug treatment programs for alternatives to incarceration.  

I was a past President of CSEA Local 668 (NYS Probation & Correctional Alternatives) as well as shop steward (NYS Division of Parole).  I retired in 2014.

Since retirement, I became the City of Troy Democratic Chairwoman and with great support we were able to take back the majority of the Troy City Council.  I have since resigned from that position to run for office.   I currently hold the 2nd Vice Chair position for the Rensselaer County Democratic Committee.
