Earlier this month, New Lebanon, New York Democratic Town Clerk Tistrya Houghtling won the small Columbia County community’s Town Supervisor election. Houghtling earned the two-year term with 69 percent of the vote. After almost a decade of service to the town, she’ll take on her new role January. Houghtling sat down with WAMC to talk about New Lebanon – her vision for it, its challenges, and its character.
