Murphy Birdsall, an off-and-on lifelong resident of Pine Plains, is running for a seat on the Pine

Plains Town Board. Raised on Main Street as one of Chris?ne Crouch's four daughters, Murphy has deep roots in the community she loves. After spending much of her professional life in the New York film business, she and her husband, Keith Reamer, returned to Pine Plains. They live with their dog, Nellie Jo, on Myrtle Avenue, across the street from the school Murphy attended, from kindergarten through 12th grade.

She has been an active contributor to the New Pine Plains Herald, writing articles that highlight local businesses, people, and community issues. She also co-directed the documentary "Our Farms, Our Farmers," about the remaining local dairy farms.

In addition to her filmmaking and journalism, Murphy has served on the advisory board of The Stissing Center since Memorial Hall was first purchased with the now-realized intention of creating a home for local arts and culture. She is on the board of the Little Nine Partners Historical Society, the keepers of the history of Pine Plains.

The issues Murphy is running to effect include the revitalization of the town center; she supports relocating the town hall and finding a wastewater solution as part of this. Housing that people can afford to live in while preserving open space can be accomplished with community effort, and she will work toward furthering collaboration.
