JOHNSTOWN — The Elizabeth Cady Stanton Hometown Association representing a group of local citizens, most of whom are women , formed a Voter Support Group to encourage all eligible voters to participate in the 2020 elections for federal, state, and local candidates. Representatives from Fulton-Montgomery Community College, HFM Prevention Council and Fonda-Fultonville Central School District participated in this program, facilitated by ECSHA Board Member Jennifer Gardella.
