Justin is running to bring efficient digital administration, non-partisan transparency, and community-centered service to the Clay Town Clerk's office.
As a dedicated Clay resident, Justin Bailey believes local government functions best when it is accessible, responsive, and neutral. Running for Town Clerk, Justin combines his professional background in administration and database management with a passion for community service.
A democrat by nomination, Justin’s mission is to serve every resident of Clay, regardless of political party. The Town Clerk’s office is the administrative heartbeat of our community—responsible for licensing, recording municipal archives, and managing vital statistics. It demands efficiency, not partisanship.
Justin lives in Clay with his family, where he volunteers at local food pantries and participates in town planning events. He is committed to preserving Clay’s rich community history while bringing its administrative tools into the 21st century.
A roadmap to make local government systems more efficient, helpful, and accessible for everyone in Clay.
A primary duty of local government is informing citizens and addressing their concerns . Today, it is more important than ever for our government to be highly accessible and responsive. You shouldn't have to rely on group chats or the rumor mill to know about emergencies or important local events. As your Town Clerk, I will provide reliable updates on the issues that impact your daily life and ensure this Town is easy to reach when you need assistance.
Growing up in a working-class household, I know how hard it is to balance long workdays with everyday responsibilities. No one should be forced to take time off from work just to access essential government services. That is why I will extend the Town Clerk's office hours and expand online services.
As we continue to grapple with the effects of Micron and other changes to our community, it is more important than ever to make a long-term plan for how we want our community to develop in the years to come.
The arrival of Micron and other new industries presents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to transform the Town of Clay for decades to come. While I am excited to welcome these new opportunities, I also recognize the potential risks. Having grown up near the shores of Onondaga Lake, we know firsthand the devastating impact pollution can have on our community and our environment. As your Town Clerk, protecting our community from these risks and ensuring a fair partnership with these industries will be one of my top priorities
