Norwich says he's ready for a
new challenge, taking on the
challenges facing residents of
our region. Joe Angelino is a
Republican candidate for the
122nd District in the New York
State Assembly. He started his
career in law enforcement with
the Chenango County Sheriff's
Office in the late 70's,
joined the Norwich Police
Department in the early 80's
and was its chief from 1996 to
2014. Angelino is also a
decorated war veteran, having
served with the Marines and
Marine Reserves in Dessert
Storm and the Iraq War. He was
injured twice and earned 2
purple hearts in Iraq in 2005.
Since retiring from Norwich
P-D, he's spent the last 5
years volunteering for his
friend Cliff Crouch who is
retiring from the seat at the
end of the year. Angelino says
that during that time, he's
traveled the vast, mostly
rural district getting to know
what issues are important to
constituents. He says he's
willing to stand up to the New
York City Democrats who hold
all of the power in Albany.
Candidate for Assembly Joe
Angelino says, "I've been
outnumbered in fights before.
You still have to have a
voice, you can't just roll
over, play dead and let them
run over us. A lot of people
in this rural district feel
that way. They feel their
culture, their way of life,
their hunting, their sporting
is being run over." Jim Ehmke
says: Angelino says high taxes
and onerous regulations are
chasing people out of Upstate
New York, 80 thousand in the
last year alone. He also
thinks the state should be
investing more in
infrastructure and needs to
make certain volunteer
ambulance services remain
viable. You can watch his
