MILTON — Jim Frey of Stone Church Road announced on June 2 that he is seeking a seat on the Milton Town Board. Republican voters will be asked to sign petitions enabling him to primary in September.

A doctoral candidate in the field of public administration, Frey has the knowledge to carry out his values of fiscal conservatism, limited government, and ethics.

Locally, Frey has served on the boards of Shelters of Saratoga and Saratoga Springs Salvation Army. He is a member of Saratoga Springs Rotary.

Frey served as the Commander and Department Chair of the ROTC, Department of Aerospace Studies, Boston University. He was Director of Non-Resident Studies for the Air War College.
