When I first ran for office in 2019, my neighbor asked me why I would want to enter politics – it’s toxic. I responded: “One reason I am running is to change the culture of politics. I believe it needs to be more friendly, open and honest and I will do what I can to make it that way. This way we eventually could have more people stepping up to run, giving voters more choices as to who should represent them.”
7 years later, I still continue this work. This year is one of the first times I have had negative mailers run against me by the State Republican party. The first ones seem to attack the Working Families Party which I am proudly endorsed by because they want to make sure everyone has what they need to thrive. For everyone to have access to affordable, quality healthcare, childcare, housing and good paying jobs.
The latest mailer made false claims about who I am, my record and positions. To be clear, I am a mom of three, a freelance graphic designer, a county legislator, a former Town of Manlius councilor and a community organizer. I am running for re-election because I want to continue to help my community.
The Facts
- I support and continue to fight for workers rights.
- I was not on the Town Board in November 2024 as this mailer claims and have encouraged fiscal responsibility at every level of government.
- I am excited by the opportunity Micron brings to our community but I will do my job of providing checks and balances to make sure the promises that were made are kept.
The Republican Party continues to spread lies, hate and fear. Standing on the sidelines allowing this federal administration to dismantle our democracy, erode our rights and violate our constitution.
I will continue to do what I have always done. I will use my voice to speak out against this administration and give voters reasons why they should vote for me. I am running to represent the residents of District 10 to increase transparency, protect our environment and invest in people.
Vote November 3rd! Early voting is going on now through November 1st!
Thank you.
