I’m Troy Haley.

I'm running for Dutchess County Legislator in District 20 because I want to build bridges between our community and county services. Service defines me.

I'm not a politician—I'm a Democrat running to represent everyone in our community. Your voice matters, and I want to hear from you. Please feel free to reach out and share the issues that are important to you.

After 23 years in the military, leading teams and putting others first, my sense of duty remains strong. Too many in our community feel unheard — I’m running to change that. Rising costs, mental health challenges, and economic struggles make it too hard for families to thrive.

I believe in a community where neighbors help neighbors. That’s the kind of leadership I believe in. I think there is more work to do to advocate for northern Dutchess in the county legislature. I’ll listen, unite, and lead with compassion and common sense.

Together, we are stronger.
