Cerutti Offers Message to Albany Residents: Change is Coming in 2025

Albany business executive and democratic candidate for Mayor Dan Cerutti has released the first in a series of video messages he is sharing with Albany residents.

The first-time candidate for public office grew up in the Pine Hills neighborhood, and returned to Albany eight years ago, following a career crafting solutions to complex problems across a variety of industries. For the past twenty months, he has been asking questions and listening city residents about their concerns.

During the pandemic, Dan walked nearly every day, for exercise and to reconnect with Albany. He talked one-on-one with many of those he encountered and evolved his understanding of the state of the city. It was during discussions with his neighbors and long-term friends that he was encouraged to consider running for Mayor, to give back by standing up for Albany.

“Albany is my hometown, I believe in our city, and after nearly a thousand conversations I have had with young families on playgrounds, business owners seeking opportunities to grow, and senior citizens that simply want to enjoy their neighborhoods; it is clear that we all want the same thing - to make Albany better, for everyone.”

The :90 second video – Why Dan? Is available on the campaign’s website: www.DanForAlbany.com. A closed caption option is also available.

The Presidential election in 40 days, the democratic primary to lead New York’s capital city will be in June 2025.

“I am committed to supporting Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. We cannot go back in November; and I am encouraged and energized to bring change to Albany in 2025,” Cerutti said.

The campaign also launched a dedicated Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/danforalbany.

“I am humbled that so many have expressed that they want to be part of our campaign. The democratic primary is nine months, and I am going to work hard every day to bring optimism, opportunity and change to our city. That is what our campaign is about, and we are well underway,” Cerutti concluded.

My name is Dan Cerutti, and I am a proud product of Albany.

I was born, raised, and married in Albany, and while Jeri and I have lived in four states, Albany has always had a special hold on us. So eight years ago, we came home.

The changes to our city over the past 10 years shocked us. Businesses that had thrived for decades were closed or had left for safer places. Once beautiful homes are run down, condemned, or gone. And far too many long-term residents have left the city.

During the pandemic, I walked five miles around Albany every other day. I've connected with groups of concerned citizens and did a year-long fact-finding effort to understand what had changed, how citizens felt, and what we might do about our city.

I learned that many live in fear. I learned that policing is not consistent across communities and that many in the law enforcement profession do not feel respected or appreciated. I saw too many people living on our streets. I was saddened by story after story of children not having the opportunities that should be available to all. I spoke to a woman who hadn’t been downtown at night in some time, who said, “Where are all the people?”

It doesn’t have to be this way. Why have so many of us come to accept this? Albany can be made safer. We can attract new businesses and jobs. We can provide more opportunities for our youth. The city can be cleaner.

Cities across America have been revitalized with great collective effort. But first, there had to be an honest, often uncomfortable appraisal of how desperately change was needed.

So, let’s just say it. Change is needed here. And it’s needed now.

It won’t be easy, and it will take time. But it’s worth the effort. Albany should be a place that everyone is proud to call home.

I know change can happen. Together we will make it happen.
