Putting Albany First: Carolyn’s Priorities

As a disabled Army Veteran, current Albany City Councilor, former Arts Commissioner, and lifelong Girl Scout, Carolyn has spent her life in service. First, in service to our country, and now to our community. As mayor, she will stay focused on the basics that matter most to Albany families: safe streets, a place to call home, and a city hall that does what’s right for the people, not what’s easy.

Fixing Our Roads & Infrastructure

Albany residents deserve safe, well‑maintained streets, not potholes and patchwork. Well‑planned, well‑maintained infrastructure keeps our community moving and our neighborhoods connected.

Affordable Housing & Stable Neighborhoods

Everyone in Albany should have a fair shot at a safe, stable, and affordable place to live. Housing is about more than buildings. Housing is about keeping our community together.

Service, Integrity, and Doing What’s Right

Albany deserves leadership that tells the truth, listens carefully, and does the right thing even when it’s hard.

Protecting Personal Privacy & Data Security

In a digital age, Albany residents deserve a city government that protects their personal information, uses technology responsibly, and is transparent about how data is collected and used. As mayor, Carolyn will push for strong safeguards, clear policies, and common-sense protections to keep people’s information safe.

Her promise is simple: Carolyn McLeod will always put the people of Albany first.

Supporting a Vibrant, Creative, and Inclusive Albany

As a former Arts Commissioner, Carolyn knows how important creativity and culture are to a thriving city. Albany is strongest when everyone belongs and everyone has a chance to contribute. She is dedicated to showing up for everyone in Albany, including our most marginalized populations.
