I'm writing to support Mike Koplinka-Loehr as the District 6 Lansing Representative for Tompkins County Legislature. Mike brings professional and personal experience to the table. He has worked in many different capacities in Tompkins County, with diverse groups of people.

Mike is a listener, thinker and problem-solver, all vitally important in this time when our town and county landscape and demographics are rapidly changing. His educational and professional background in Regional Planning is knowledge critical in planning for land use and economic development. He is forward-thinking, as well as fiscally conservative and responsible; qualities needed for thoughtful governing.

Most importantly, he is a man of personal integrity. He is a person who considers, reflects and acts with a sense of fairness and openness. Mike Koplinka-Loehr is a voice we need to represent Lansing and our county.
