SARATOGA SPRINGS City Public Safety Commissioner Robin Dalton, who quit the Republican Party in January over discomfort with its “extreme” national positions, said Wednesday she plans to run for mayor this fall on a new independent ballot line to be called Saratoga Stronger Together.
Dalton said she is running for mayor because someone who is already experienced with the issues the city has faced over the last two years is needed in the mayor’s job, and neither party’s nominee has that experience. With Democratic Mayor Meg Kelly not running for re-election after two terms, the Republicans have nominated businesswoman Heidi Owen West, a novice to politics, and the Democrats have nominated attorney Ron Kim, who served as public safety commissioner from 2006 to 2010.
