Laura Donovan

Laura Donovan is running for Ulster County Legislature in District 11 to make local government more transparent, support working families, and ensure Marlborough, NY has a strong voice at the county level.

She is committed to protecting the environment, supporting local farmers and small businesses, and investing in smart infrastructure and housing solutions that meet the needs of her community.

Raised in the Hudson Valley, Laura’s commitment to service runs deep. She co-founded a regional diaper bank, advocated for the removal of New York’s diaper tax, and helped secure state-level funding for families in need. She has spent her career helping hardworking young professionals and families navigate life’s biggest financial decisions. Now, she’s ready to bring that same energy to local office by fighting for a more affordable Marlborough where families can stay and thrive. Laura is running to ensure her neighbors feel heard and represented—and to deliver more access, more responsiveness, and more leadership that gets things done to help Marlborough thrive.
