Several candidates are running for the 125th Assembly Seat in the June 23rd Democratic Primary. I am voting for Joseph “Seph” Murtagh with great enthusiasm. I first met Seph because of his participation in the College in Prison program at Cornell. Seph is sensitive to all points of view and possesses great listening skills. He can analyze and articulate competing issues inherent in many complex social problems. He brought those skills to his work on increasing affordable housing and policing reform as a City of Ithaca alderperson.

Seph has special care for those in our society whose needs must be urgently met. Seph Murtagh personifies character and integrity and displays a work ethic devoted to serving and helping others. He will be a more than worthy successor to a seat held by Marty Luster and Barbara Lifton.

Best,
