Who am I?

I am a small business owner, farmer, and Town Supervisor. I am involved with alternative energy, environmental protection, and inter-municipal cooperation projects. In addition I am Chair of the Tompkins County Council of Governments, Secretary of the Board of Governors for NYMIR (NY Municipal Insurance Reciprocal), and I serve on the Board of Directors for both the Community Foundation of Tompkins County and Tompkins County Area Development.

Why am I running?

I believe it is time to end partisan gridlock and bring democracy back to state government. I am running because I have the leadership needed to accomplish things that are important to us: protecting our environment with strong responses to global warming; creating affordable, universally available health care; beginning the new advanced economy of the 21 st century right here in upstate NY; supporting education of our new leaders while teaching them skills needed for the next economy; and controlling spending while shifting the tax burden away from Property tax. These issues are important to us, but more importantly to our children.

About the Endorsement Process

All campaigns seeking a DFA endorsement are first required to complete the endorsement application in order to be considered. Members of the DFA Political team will review applications after submission and make endorsement decisions on a rolling basis throughout the applicable election cycle.

The driving force behind all DFA endorsements is our membership. We gauge DFA member support in a number of different ways. For starters, supporters can publicly show their support on any candidate’s application page. We also utilize endorsement decisions of local DFA groups as a measure of local community support. Finally, if you know a candidate deserving of a DFA endorsement who hasn’t yet applied, we want to hear about them! Please visit the Endorsement FAQ page for answers to frequently asked questions about our endorsement process.

If you still have any questions, or want to let us know about a candidate in your neighborhood, please call us at (802) 651-3200 or email us at [email protected] .
