Amsterdam Mayor Ann Thane Seeks Third Term

City of Amsterdam

Amsterdam Mayor Ann Thane, a Democrat, is running for a third term against Republican challenger Mike Villa. During her tenure, Thane has focused much of her energy into improving the Montgomery County city's downtown and waterfront areas. WAMC's Southern Adirondack Bureau Chief Lucas Willard asked the mayor what she would do to bring change to the rest of the city of about 18,000 residents if reelected.

Lucas Willard is the Executive Producer of WAMC's Northeast Notebook. After joining the station in 2011, Lucas has held several titles at WAMC, including Berkshire Bureau Chief, Southern Adirondack Bureau Chief, and Assistant News Director.
