Bob Daros

For Town Councilman

 

Bob Daros: It has been an honor to
serve as your Town Councilman during
this terribly trying year. Despite the
unimaginable circumstances, our essential
workers and our Town Administration, led by Warren Lucas, have worked
tirelessly to meet the challenges our community has faced. With your support, I
hope to be able to continue to serve our Town for an additional three years.

Warren Lucas, Supervisor: How many times does a board member say of a problem, "Give it
to me, I'll run with it". Bob has been an awesome addition to your Town Board and I urge you to
vote to keep him in place.

Peter Kamenstein, Deputy Supervisor: Bob is honest, astute and straight forward. His
motivation for running for Town Council is simple: he cares deeply about our community.
Please join me in voting for Bob Daros.

Lois Lippmann, Supervisor 1986-88: Bob has integrity, a priceless commodity in the world
in which we live. Bob’s fiscal responsibility has been shown time and time again in his 19 years
as fire commissioner. My husband, Ken, and I support him and his commitment to making our
community safe, to preserving the rural character, and to keeping North Salem a great family
town.

James Outhouse: I’ve known Bob my entire life. He is a stand-up guy who knows right from
wrong and stands behind everything he does. His fiscally conservative values are something
that is needed now.

Angelo D'Agostino: Bob has been a friend and colleague in the CFFD for over 30 years. Bob is
fiscally conservative and balances the needs of the fire district along with the needs of the
taxpayers in town. He has been a great asset to the Town Board as Councilman.

Ed Taylor: Who do you want in your foxhole? Someone you can count on, someone who takes
things seriously, someone who knows how to guide the ship. Bob Daros is that guy.

North Salem Local, Independent, Republican, Conservative.
