| Info | Sandra L. Frankel was re-elected to her sixth term of office as Brighton Town Supervisor in 2001. She has consistently received support from Democrats as well as scores of Republicans and Independents who enjoy the quality of life in Brighton and appreciate her administration's style of open government.
Frankel recently served as President of the Board of Governors of the New York Municipal Insurance Reciprocal, an insurance company for more than 400 local municipalities in New York State, including counties, towns, small cities and villages. She formerly served as the organization�s Treasurer, as Finance Committee Chair, and as a member of its Board of Governors� Executive Committee.
Frankel was the Democratic candidate for Lieutenant Governor of New York State in the 1998 election. She also chaired the NYS Democratic Committee�s Task Force on Domestic Partnership/Civil Union.
A RECORD of Distinction, built on
� Breaking Down Barriers: Sandra Frankel was the first Democrat and first woman elected to the position of Brighton Town Supervisor in the town�s 177-year history. The Frankel administration reversed the trend of Republican control and has maintained an all-Democratic town council for 11 years. In 1998, the town�s voter registration shifted to a Democratic advantage for the first time in the town�s history.
� Opening Up Government: As Supervisor, Frankel has built an impressive record of accomplishment. She is most proud of the renewal of citizen involvement in town government, which is the key to the town�s recent successes. When first elected in 1991, she kept her promise to throw open the doors of town hall and let the sunshine in. She formed several citizen committees to review everything from the budget to the state of the town�s recreational opportunities. Citizens were selected for inclusion based on their interest, expertise, and enthusiasm for improving government.
� Making Her Community Safer and More Secure: That spirit of community involvement led to improvements that have made Brighton safer and more secure. Among those were the establishment of Community Policing and the closing and demolition of a motel that had become a center of crime and drug activity. A town-led team worked with neighbors to close the motel, and a new pharmacy now stands on the site. Frankel put more police on the street and formed the first Public Safety Committee of the Town Board, bringing police, fire, ambulance, highway, and public works agencies together on a monthly basis to share information, coordinate efforts, and review requests to enhance public safety.
� Balancing Budgets, Cutting Taxes and More: Sandy�s administration has cut property taxes in four of the last seven budgets, fixed an inherited financial mess and restored fiscal integrity and stability, and earned a high-level Moody's credit rating upgrade to AA3.
As the elected executive, Sandy created and implemented an inter-municipal economic development initiative for the town's main retail/commercial corridor.
Unlike the trend in many other "inner ring" suburbs, under Sandy's leadership, property values have increased.
� Improving and Investing in Community Quality of Life: Sandy and her team have created a town-wide park system and acquired approximately 140 acres, including land that will be developed as Brighton's "Central Park" for active and passive recreation. The Frankel administration has protected environmentally sensitive areas and is cleaning up contaminated land.
The Frankel administration ended community conflict and created a consensus to renovate and more than double the size of the public library for lifelong learning.
Sandy instituted an aggressive program to construct and maintain the Town's infrastructure, including roads, sewers, sidewalks, and drainage systems.
AN EDUCATOR by Training
These are the most recent successes that have come from twenty-plus years of involvement in public and community service. Prior to her election as Supervisor, Sandy Frankel served as a member of the Brighton Central School District Board of Education for six years, including three years as vice-president. She also has served as Vice President of the Board of Cooperative Educational Services (BOCES) Board of Education, and is a past president of the Monroe County School Boards Association.
Sandy worked as a speech language pathologist in the public and private sectors for 23 years.
She holds a B.S. with Distinction from Newcomb College of Tulane University, and a Master of Arts from Northwestern University.
A VOLUNTEER by Choice
Sandra Frankel serves on the Board of Directors of the Brighton Chamber of Commerce, the Arts and Cultural Council for Greater Rochester, and Children Awaiting Parents. She has been active in many other state and community organizations, including the United Way, National Organization for Women, League of Women Voters, Temple Sinai and the Jewish Community Federation.
Sandra and Neil Frankel have been married for 38 years. Neil is a manager of new product development with Xerox Corporation in Webster, New York. They have three grown children: daughter Janice and sons Tom and Eric, and five grandchildren, Hannah (10), Akiva (8), Ezra (5), Sarah (2), and Jeremy (3 months).
