Village Trustee Tom Catillaz is the Democrat’s Candidate for Harrietstown Supervisor..  and  served with Pickreign on the

democratic committee.. He says “Joe Pickreign dedicated most of his adult life to enhancing the political process in Franklin County and the Town of Harrietstown.  He is more that deserving of this tribute.”

A Veteran of the Democratic Party is recognized for his achievements –  Joe Pickreign at 77 is recently retired after 32 years of public service in Franklin County..  Chad McCarthey takes over the reigns as Franklin County’s Democratic Chair and while Pickreign’s retirement is formalized, there may still be some opportunity for him to lend a helping hand from time to time..
