About Fran

Hi, my name is Francine (Fran) Caracappa and I joined the East Fishkill community in 1989 when the population was around 22,000. I came to East Fishkill since I was an avid gardener and wanted more land to cultivate. However, I spent most of my time commuting to Manhattan by Metro North back then.

Over the years my colleagues would ask me “Why do you live so far from the office?” sometimes even saying, “oh that’s right Fran lives near Canada.”  What they never understood is that each day I see open land, stars when clear, even constellations. Leaf peeping is not a long drive but only a step outside my door.

I continue to live in East Fishkill because I love the town -- what it had back then, what it has to offer today, and the possibilities for the future. By population, we are the third largest area in Dutchess County after both the town and city of Poughkeepsie. Our town is often cited for so many positive aspects and one we all benefit from is safety, thanks to Chief Cuccia and Lieutenants Stanis and Knapp.

There is no doubt people want to live in East Fishkill, so we need to find a way to combine the needs of long-standing residents and those who have recently joined us.

Staunch advocate of preserving the town wetlands.

I am running for Town Board because I care deeply about our community and its future for all. I believe that town governments should work for everyone. Your concern is my concern, and I will listen.

As a NYS CPA and Certified Fraud Examiner, I have experienced a good deal during my consulting years and now as financial administrator in an academic medical center.

I want to take that experience and put it to work for you. I believe I will bring a fresh perspective to the Town Board. I am committed to transparency, accountability, and above all open communication.

East Fishkill has brought me and my family immense joy over the years and I would like to give back to the community. I hope you give me the opportunity by electing me to the East Fishkill Town Board.
