THANKS to signatures from 939 Lansing voters of every party (Democrats, Republicans, Independence, Working Families, Green, Conservative, etc.) and those who are not affiliated with any party, I am honored to be on the 11/7 ballot for Tompkins County Legislature on the Democratic, Working Families and Lansing Lighthouse (independent) lines. I am passionate about public service and will work equally hard each and every day to represent Lansing District 6 if elected this fall.
Having visited over 1500 households in the process, which means over 1500 unique residences, I did my best to leave literature and a personal note if no one was home.
I appreciate those who have contacted me, following up on the literature I left, and apologize if I left anyone anxious in any way through leaving materials, which was certainly farthest from my intention in attempting to inform each person about my experience and vision. For the 3 instances that I am aware that I created anxiety for residents, I sent or dropped off personal apology notes with a request to speak directly if they so chose.
I look forward to contacting every registered voter between now and November 7th, and meeting as many as possible in person whom I haven't met to date. If you are part of a group, an organization or a neighborhood that would like to arrange an in-person meeting, please do not hesitate to contact me so we can make arrangements.
I deeply respect the voices and perspective of every Lansing resident and strive to be able to represent each person with dedication and integrity in 2018 and beyond.
