I'm a lifelong Democrat who was weaned on the civil rights movement. I'm also an activist and union electrician (IBEW) who is lesbian and Chicana.
In 2001, I ran for public office here in Ithaca, New York, and was deeply gratified to win, serving for four years. In 2005, I ran unopposed for re-election.
I've just begun my second term as a Tompkins County Legislator. This website has become an essential tool for communication with community, constituents, my family, and you.
Go ahead, browse a bit. And let me know what you think!
Sunday, August 7 5-8 PM at the Common Ground 1230 Danby Road (Rt 96B)
