The Town of Stony Point has made history with the swearing-in of its first female town supervisor.

Amy Stamm officially took office last weekend, marking a milestone in the town’s 160-year history.

Stamm said she feels honored by the other women who have also served in local government positions before her. She won after being unopposed in the November 2025 election.

Stamm was sworn in Saturday surrounded by family, friends and supporters. During her first official week on the job, she sat down with News 12 to reflect on the moment and share her vision for the town as she worked on emails and scheduling.

“It was a really exciting day and emotional, surprisingly emotional for me too,” Stamm said of being sworn in. “It just felt like such a milestone.”

Stamm’s election also continues a family legacy in local government. Her grandfather, Lucien Conklin, previously served as Stony Point’s town supervisor from 1973-1984, and her grandmother, Joann Conklin, was a town councilwoman from 1994-2004.

Stamm, a lifelong Stony Point resident, says one of her top priorities is updating the town’s comprehensive plan which will take more than a year to do.

“We have our small-town character here in Stony Point, and that’s something I want to preserve and protect,” Stamm said. “But we also have to focus on the future and determine how we’re going to grow and what are the things that people here in Stony Point want and don’t want. All of that will factor into the town’s comprehensive plan.”

Stamm previously served as assistant to former Supervisor Jim Monaghan before being appointed deputy supervisor a little more than a year ago.

“This is home to me,” she said. “I can’t imagine not being here.”

Town officials say more announcements are expected in the coming months, including events planned to celebrate the nation’s 250th birthday later this year.

Orangetown Supervisor Teresa Kenny was the first female supervisor in Rockland County history when she won in 2019.
