Saugerties Town Candidates


Wendy Ricks
Town Justice

Four years ago Wendy broke through that infamous glass ceiling to become the first woman Town Justice in Saugerties' history, winning with tremendous bi-partisan support. People respected her intellect, experience, judgement and temperament, and for the last four years she has consistently exhibited these attributes in service to our community.

Aside from being the Saugerties Town Justice, Wendy has worked in the Ulster County District Attorney's office, the Ulster County Attorney's office, and has twenty years of legal experience in private practice. She has served as the president of the Ulster County Bar Association and is a certified mediator. Wendy has is sensitive to how mental health issues, addiction and family dysfunction can be contributing factors in many of the criminal offenses which come before the Court.

For Wendy, serving as Town Justice is a way of giving back to a community that taught me the values of friendship, fairness, honesty and hard work. She firmly believes in equal justice for all who come before the court, and has pledged "to continue to do my all to ensure that people are treated fairly and with respect".

Wendy Ricks, a life-long resident of Saugerties, lives in the Village with her husband Mark Colligan, a well-known local chiropractor who has owned and operated the Saugerties Chiropractic Center for over twenty years, and their two children Aidan and Meghan.
