Councilperson Cynthia Brock is the longest serving member on the Ithaca City Council. She has gained a reputation as a tenacious and hard-working legislator who fearlessly strives for transparency and accountability, progressive government with a commitment to fiscal prudence, and maintaining and enhancing the City’s core services. 

Brock has represented the First Ward on Ithaca’s Common Council for four terms since 2011. The First Ward — the largest district in the City — includes Ithaca’s West Hill, West End, and Waterfront districts, Nate’s Floral Estates, the Spencer Road neighborhood, South Hill and the Route 13 commercial corridor.  Starting in 2024, the First Ward will also include the Northside, Southside, and South Titus neighborhoods, while South Hill will become part of Ward Three. 

Cynthia made history as the first Asian-American elected to Council and the first Asian-American Woman. Raised in Hawaii, Brock has a lifelong passion for the water and natural resources.  An avid long distance outrigger canoe paddler, Brock was a founding member of the Cayuga Outrigger Canoe Club and continued to serve on its Board for a decade. Cynthia and her husband Ray, her mother, and three now-adult kids have lived on West Hill for over 20 years, three generations under one roof.
