Dave Capria (Democrat) 1. What background and accomplishments make you the ideal candidate?
I have lived in Onondaga County my whole life, and for the last 25 years specifically in the town of Clay. I worked for Carrier Corporation for 12 years until 2004. Since then, I have worked jobs in the sales and marketing field, including insurance where I am a broker. Currently I work for WCNY, our local Public Broadcasting Affiliate in sales as a media consultant. Since leaving Carrier 20 years ago, I have met thousands of people and talked to many of them regarding different issues facing our community. Talking with these individuals has given me a great perspective as to what our residents want and expect from their local government. Capria l Page 12

Over the past 17 years I have been actively involved with town of Clay government. From 2007-2010 I was a member of the ZBA (zoning board of appeals). In 2010 I accepted a position to become a member on the planning board. This position ended in 2012 when I became the chairman of the planning board until 2015 when I was appointed to the town board. I have been a town councilor since then. The experiences obtained while serving has greatly increased my working knowledge of the town of Clay. In addition, it has led to meeting many wonderful constituents who believe in the town of Clay like myself. Hess l Page 12
