KINGSTON, N.Y. >> Cassandra Burke has launched a bid for the Common Councils Eighth Ward seat.

Burke, of 117 Rondout Drive, says she will seek the Democratic line in the November election. The Eighth Ward seat currently is held by Steve Schabot, also a Democrat.

Burke, who has never held elected office, said in a press release that she has lived in Kingston for five years and is excited about running.

I have made this decision because, as a mother of three children and a longtime resident of the city, I see so much potential in Kingston for us and our future generations, and I want to help nurture that potential.

Burke is a former member of the citys Human Rights Commission and a current member of the Community Development Advisory Board.
