Christine Primomo — Answer the census, get engaged

Christine Primomo, a retired nurse living in Coeymans, is an activist who is passionate about many initiatives, among them the need for every Albany County resident to be counted in the 2020 census. In this week’s podcast, she notes that currently only 59 percent of county residents have filled out the brief survey. Primomo stresses that the census can be answered by phone, by mail, or online — and that the responses remain confidential. “We each need to do our part. It’s up to us. It’s our money. It’s our community,” she says. A member of the nonpartisan, not-for-profit League of Women Voters, Primomo remembers, as a grammar student, being taught civics. “That doesn’t happen any more,” she said. “People have lost their faith and just don’t feel their vote counts … If you don’t like the way something is working, get engaged,” she urges.
