Gary McCarthy

Gary McCarthy is running for re-election for Mayor of Schenectady. During his time in office, McCarthy has worked towards the sustainable remodeling of streets, creating bike lanes and partnering with a local Schenectady-based business, Livingston Energy, to place electric vehicle chargers throughout the City, allowing for Schenectady to be named EV City of the Year in 2022 by the Electric Vehicle Association. Additionally, he has supported the installation of environmental sensors to monitor both air pollutants and the water levels of Mohawk River, providing communication to residents on environmental risks in the neighborhood like flooding. If re-elected, McCarthy plans to develop more aggressive approaches to reduce littering, reducing energy consumption, and other pro-environmental agendas.
