In Dutchess comptroller race, incumbent faces challenge from legislative chair When Dan Aymar-Blair, the Dutchess County comptroller, first told his mother he was running for the position, she responded: "I'm so proud of you, honey. What is that?" The anecdote got a laugh from a dozen residents gathered at a Hyde Park library town hall last month, but it also captures the central challenge for Aymar-Blair, a Beacon resident and former City Council member, in winning re-election to a full term as comptroller: persuading voters to care about an office so little-understood that even his mother needed an explanation. His Republican opponent, Will Truitt, the 30-year-old chair of the Dutchess County Legislature, faces a different challenge. To win the race, he must mobilize a GOP political machine that has enabled Republicans to control Dutchess - the Legislature, the county executive's seat, the sheriff's office - for nearly all of the past three decades. The vote should be close. Although there are about 20,000 more registered Democrats in the county than Republicans (75,000 to 56,000), another 12,000 voters are enrolled in smaller parties and 60,000 have no declared party affiliation. Control of the office has repeatedly flipped between parties. But Republicans have historically been more effective at turning out voters in off-year elections like this one. In recent presidential years, Democratic turnout in the county is around 70 percent; in recent off-year local elections, that drops to below 45 percent, according to data from the county Board of Elections. "It's a truly purple county," said Michael Dupree, who chairs the Dutchess County Democratic Committee. Aymar-Blair won in November by fewer than 1,000 votes in a special election held during a presidential election year, a contest that occurred because Democrat Robin Lois resigned to become deputy comptroller of local government and school accountability in Albany. Gregg Pulver, a Republican who had chaired the Legislature but lost his seat, was appointed to the role. The narrow margin meant the outcome hinged on absentee ballots. When it comes to the question Aymar-Blair's mother asked, however, the two candidates have very different answers. "This office is an essential part of checks and balances," Aymar-Blair told the group in Hyde Park, part of a series of non-campaign events he has held in libraries to explain what his office does. The comptroller, he told the group, serves as an independent watchdog responsible for scrutinizing budgets, contracts and capital projects. Truitt, who was elected to the Legislature when he was 20, frames the job differently. To him, the comptroller is akin to a chief financial officer, someone who works in step with the county executive and Legislature, keeping the government "one united team." "Anyone here who's ever worked in small business knows if you have a CFO [chief financial officer] - a comptroller - who's working to undermine the rest of the team, you are going to fail," he told supporters at a fundraiser at a donor's home in Fishkill last month. A self-described "Energizer Bunny," Truitt bounded through the crowd of 170 supporters and more than two dozen Republican elected officials, giving hugs, shaking hands and pausing for quick huddles with campaign aides. The event, advertised as offering "$250 hot dogs, $500 burgers and $1,000 steaks," delivered on its promise of red meat on the grill and in speeches. Speakers at the fundraiser railed against the brainwashing of the young in academic institutions and warned of growing Christian religious persecution across the country. The crowd paused for a moment of silence for right-wing activist Charlie Kirk, assassinated days earlier, and Truitt vowed to uphold the political firebrand's legacy. Dutchess GOP Vice Chair Doug McCool whipped up the crowd: "Truitt!" he called. "Will do it!" the crowd bellowed back. Truitt hopes these officials, donors and rank-and-file Republicans wi...

Forward thinking leaders know that fostering innovation, developing company culture and effective communication always starts at the top. This episode of the Forward Thinking Podcast features FCCS VP of Marketing and Communications Stephanie Barton and Tom Truitt, CEO of Horizon Farm Credit and winner of the FCCS 2024 Accelerator of the Year Award. Together, they define acceleration in the face of organizational change, consider what it takes to foster innovation from the top down, and discuss some of the valuable leadership lessons that Tom has learned over the years. He shares the importance of communication, the value of always keeping the why in mind, and the forward-thinking challenge that he poses for leaders today as well as in the future. Episode Insights Include: The spirit of growth and innovation At Horizon, implementing processes and technology is all about adding value. Focusing on the success of people is their core initiative. Ask yourself – why should people want to do business with our company? The go-to-market strategy will continue to change and require effective storytelling. Defining acceleration in the face of organizational change The customers and market that companies are facing today is different from before. Customers are more demanding than ever, and expect exceptional service. Barriers when trying to accelerate change include complacency and risk-aversion. AI is an additional acceleration that companies are working to navigate. Valuable leadership lessons Tom has learned that not everyone is like him. Every person in an organization is on their own journey. Everyone has different motivators, and each staff member deserves a personalized development plan. Mentors play a critical role in career success. Fostering innovation from the top down Communication is key in any success in life. Getting any company moving forward requires communicating a vision. Connect the dots from the work that you do to how it improves your customer's experience. Communication takes consistent care and feeding every day. Overcoming challenges in leadership Management changes, mergers and technology all create challenges. Change allows opportunities to reset the vision. Staying focused is easier when you see the wins. Collaboration in the acceleration of progress Identify the benefits of each person's expertise. Silo-busting is critical at every level, as is building internal trust. Bringing the value down to the family farm is essential. Understanding the why will benefit every level of the organization. Creating culture Fundamentally, culture represents how you treat each other and your customers. Failing fast will help minimize the fear of failure. Resources and time are essential to successful cultivation of culture. Spend just as much time in the back office as you do in the front office. This podcast is powered by FCCS.

In this episode of the Epigenetics Podcast, we talked with Erica Korb from the University of Pennsylvania about her work on BRD4 and the histone variant H2BE, which influences synaptic genes and neuronal activity. Dr. Korb discusses the focus of her lab, which centers on epigenetic mechanisms impacting gene regulation in neurons. Her research primarily examines histone biology and its connection to neurodevelopmental disorders, including autism spectrum disorder and intellectual disabilities. Dr. Korb expounds on the collaborative environment at UPenn's Epigenetics Institute, emphasizing how the rich diversity of research topics fosters innovative ideas and projects within the community. Reflecting on her earlier work from her postdoctoral studies, Dr. Korb discusses her first significant findings regarding the protein BRD4. This work demonstrated BRD4's role in mediating transcriptional regulation crucial for learning and memory processes. She explains how disrupting this protein's function in neurons hindered critical gene activations required for memory formation in mice. This foundational understanding opened avenues for exploring the broader implications of chromatin regulation in various neurodevelopmental conditions. Transitioning into her current research endeavors, Dr. Korb reveals how she aims to expand her focus beyond Fragile X syndrome. With her lab now investigating multiple chromatin regulators implicated in various forms of autism spectrum disorders, she describes a recent project where RNA sequencing exposed substantial overlaps in gene expression changes associated with five distinct chromatin modifiers, each contributing uniquely to neuronal function while collectively demonstrating sensitivity to chromatin disruptions. A significant portion of the discussion centers around Dr. Korb's unexpected exploration into how COVID-19 intersects with chromatin biology through a phenomenon known as histone mimicry. Leveraging bioinformatic tools during the pandemic, her lab discovered that certain viral proteins mimic histone sequences, which may lead to altered transcriptional outputs in host cells. This coincidental finding illustrates both the creative adaptability needed in scientific research and the importance of collaborative efforts across disciplines to uncover new insights. The conversation also delves into Dr. Korb's recent work regarding the histone variant H2BE, initiated by one of her graduate students. She explains how prior research only recognized H2BE's expression in the olfactory system, yet her lab has demonstrated its significant role in regulating synaptic genes and memory formation throughout broader neuronal contexts. Notably, they identified a single amino acid change that influences H2BE's function in chromatin accessibility and gene transcription, emphasizing its potential evolutionary conservation across species. In terms of H2BE's role, Dr. Korb elucidates that its activity is integral in response to extracellular stimuli, particularly within the context of neuronal activation. Intriguingly, they found that H2BE expression decreases in reaction to long-term neuronal stimulation, suggesting a complex mechanism of homeostatic plasticity crucial for regulating neuronal activity levels. This research not only advances understanding of chromatin dynamics but also holds implications for neuronal health and disease mechanisms. References Feierman, E. R., Louzon, S., Prescott, N.

We need all policy makers to spend more time thinking about the unintended consequence's of their actions.
Of course, it is helpful to have the theory and principles behind inclusive marketing to give you a strong foundation for growth. I'm a big believer in learning from real-world situations and issues and hearing the voices of real people. I often feel that these stories from real people will not only help you connect the dots and bring the theory to life for you in a more vivid way, but it also makes it easier for you to be in the lookout for areas to give special attention to when you put what you've learned about inclusive marketing into practice. In today's episode, you're going to hear my chat with Danielle Monae Truitt, who plays who plays Sergeant Ayanna Bell on Peacock's upcoming fifth season of the iconic series starring Christopher Meloni, Law & Order: Organized Crime. Of course we talked a little bit about some interesting things related to the show – but I found so much of what Danielle had to say extremely relevant to you and your efforts on making your marketing more inclusive. We touched on authenticity, production – specifically as it relates to Black women's hair. We covered representation – and what good representation looks like (because lets face it, a lot of representation falls short). Many of the themes Danielle mentioned as it relates to Black women's hair, and what good representation looks like, were things consumers specifically spoke about as part of the representation in marketing research study I conducted. If you haven't had a look at that, no worries, I'll link it up for you in the show notes, as well as another article that covers how to do representation in marketing the right way.
