County Legislator Peter Stein announced Tuesday that he will step down from the Tompkins County Legislature effective Friday, September 22.“My wife and I had planned a move from District 11 to District 10, which is why I chose not to run for office in November,” Stein explained. “However, circumstances have led to our move’s happening earlier than expected. Because I will no longer reside in District 11, I can no longer represent the people of that district, whom it has been an honor and a privilege to serve for nearly a decade. I wish only the best to our county’s hardworking staff and to my successor as County Legislator for District 11, Shawna Black.”
Stein is Professor Emeritus in Physics at Cornell University and served both as Vice-Provost and as Dean of the Faculty. His legislative seat will remain vacant from September 22 until Election Day, November 7.
