I am no newcomer, having lived in the District for 50 years, and having married into a farming family that settled along Owasco Lake in the late 1700’s. For most of these 50 years, I have been involved in our community and in public service: 3 terms on the Southern Cayuga School Board, 3 terms as Supervisor in Scipio, service on dozens of community boards. I am completing my 8th year on the Cayuga County Legislature, having served for 2 years as Chair. I know the needs of the community because I have been here, involved in our community for most of my adult life. I have been a knowledgeable, forceful advocate for Scipio, Ledyard and Springport and will continue to be so .

A County Legislator is elected to represent the District, get answers to questions, provide support, and to find solutions to local problems. My parents were part of the hard-working middle class; they on the values of hard work, responsibility to family and community, and the importance of treating all people fairly. I have worked hard at every job I’ve taken on in the past and you can count on me to be a persistent advocate for this District. I will listen and act on your behalf. This is my promise and this is why I ask for your vote.

I am not a millionaire. I am a middle-class worker whose parents passed on the values of hard work, responsibility to family and community, and the importance of treating all people fairly. Those are the values I will bring to the job. I will show up, I will work hard, and I will do my best to deliver. This is why I ask for your vote.
