Did you know there have been three candidate forums for the First Ward Common Council?
Whether on camera, in person, or on the radio – these forums put Kayla and me together side-by-side – creating a unique opportunity for us to address the issues that matter to you, such as public safety, housing, flooding, homelessness, affordability, City staffing shortages, and management of the City budget.

On the Radio (listen and read) https://www.wrfi.org/2023/06/12/conversation-with-ward-1-common-council-candidates/
WRFI Community Radio and The Ithaca Voice brought conversations with candidates in the 4 contested Common Council primary races. Celia Clarke of WRFI and Matt Butler Editor-in-Chief of The Ithaca Voice interviewed the candidates.
I am running to keep my seat on the Common Council in a time of great change in the City. I promise to continue to work hard for all Ithacans, with a commitment to fiscal prudence, transparency and accountability, dedication to progressive government, and a focus on maintaining and enhancing our City’s core services.
Thank you for your support, and for helping to inform and educate our community.
