Victor's Plans For Hudson

Victor Mendolia's Citizen's Agenda for Hudson is detailed and growing. But it can be summed up with the following. 

On Day One, 
Victor will immediately implement:

• An open and transparent government which is accessible, respectful and responsive.

In the first 90 Days he will:

• Institute a modern interactive website and social media presence with the ability to transact all City business, make complaints or suggestions. 

All with rapid response to issues and problems by City employees or by the Mayor himself.

Going Forward
As Mayor, Victor will immediately get to work to solve the issues which have plagued the city for years.

 He will fight for and lead the city toward:

• Municipal control of Hudson's Waterfront with citizen input
• Increasing available commercial and residential space by redeveloping Columbia Street
• Real solutions to State truck route issues
• New initiatives for upgrading sub-standard housing
• Reliable true high-speed broadband with free wi-fi in public parks and municipal buildings
• Eliminating blue trash bag method of trash disposal
• Restoration of the 7th St Public Square, along with new green spaces and playgrounds
• Creation of Hudson's first Dog Park

Victor will lead Hudson to become a model for green technology, protection and enhancement of the environment and sustainability.

• Fast tracked solar and wind power at City owned facilities for real taxpayer savings
• Green initiatives for residents
• Stormwater capture initiative

Working Families Party Endorses Victor Mendolia for Mayor

The Better for Hudson campaign is pleased to announce that the Working Families Party (WFP) has endorsed Victor Mendolia's campaign for Mayor of Hudson. 

Victor had this to say about the endorsement "As a longtime ally of working people and families, it is a true honor to have the WFP endorsement. Putting people first is the cornerstone of our campaign, as it is for the WFP. I thank the WFP for the trust they have placed in me."

Open and Transparent - Good Customer Service - Desperately Needed

Join the fight for open and transparent government in Hudson. 

It is time that our government puts people first.

Victor Mendolia for Mayor 

Putting People First

Victor Mendolia is running for Mayor because he believes that Hudson's government must put people first. We need a government which works for, and answers to, the people.

Government Working for People...Openly.

Victor is committed to open and transparent government.

When government is working in the people's interest, there is nothing to hide.

Good government should start with good customer service.

Victor spent 20+ years in the retail and restaurant/club sector. It was there that he learned how important good customer service is in all aspects of life. Victor would bring that kind of professionalism, respect and caring about the details to city government. Not just to be polite, but to deliver services to the public in the most open and professional way possible. Freeing our citizens to have more time with their families, for building a business or just enjoying all that our area has to offer. All by being public servants who remember that they work for you, the taxpayer.

Victor's first order of business, will be a complete revamping of the City website and the digitization of all documents going forward and eventually going back. When a decision will impact people's lives, public hearings will be held. When documents are sent or received, they will be a part of the public record, accessible to all and online.

There will also be an end to overly confusing parking and snow emergency regulations and they will be replaced with regulations that impose the least amount possible on our citizens. They will be posted on the City website and social media pages which will be established and updated often. Smartphone apps will follow after not too long. Each information platform will incorporate ways for citizens to talk back to their elected officials and public employees. If something doesn't work properly, you will be able to tell us immediately and get a fast response. The citizens eyes and ears and their feedback will help everyone in city government do a better job...for the people.

When the people speak, we will listen, and act.
