On Monday, September 19, 2016, the Greenport Democrats
nominated Victoria Hill as their candidate for Town Judge with an overwhelming
majority. She would be the first female Greenport Town Judge.
Ms. Hill has a BA in criminology and currently holds the
position of Chief Court Clerk at the Greenport Town Court, where she manages
all aspects of the court processes and operations and is responsible to judges,

personnel; allocating court resources; accounting for fees, fines, and other
public funds; preparing court calendars,

month.

day-to-day operations for two apartment complexes with over 200 residents and works
part time in the Hudson school district.
And perhaps, most impressive, Ms. Hill is a Master Sergeant
in the Westover Air Reserve Base, where she supervises 8 members in the Dental
Section. She is the Career Advisor for
the unit, and also assists in the drug testing section. which tests 2400 Air
Base members. And finally, she is the Medical Readiness NCO, ensuring that
members are medically and dentally fit to deploy and that all their training is
complete.
She has served in the Reserves since 2004, and before that
in the Army for 4 years, when she worked as a mechanic. She was stationed in Kentucky and Kansas and,
in 1997, she was deployed to South Korea for 13 months. She is currently a member of the American
Legion, the VFW, and the Korean War Veterans Association.
And to top it off, she has three children.
George Super, the chairman of the Greenport Democratic
Committee said, "It is sometimes challenging to find excellent candidates
for town offices, but we certainly have one now." He thanked those who attended and
participated with such enthusiasm, and he predicted good things ahead for Greenport
Democrats.
