Vote for Irene Weiser on June 24

Letter to the editor

Dear Editor, 

Irene Weiser has the qualities that I want to see in a county legislator – she’s a fierce advocate, a strong communicator,  and she understands how to implement effective public policy.

I am particularly familiar with her efforts to stop cryptomining, an activity that uses an exorbitant amount of energy. Irene took a complex topic, researched it, and presented it in a way that the general public could understand. She worked with Assemblymember Anna Kelles’ office to help craft legislation, and then rallied hundreds of environmental activists from across the state to get the bill passed. She’s done the same on other important topics – violence against women, emergency medical service provision, and CO2 fracking.

I want a legislator who has the demonstrated ability and courage to tackle tough, complex issues and develop solutions that improve people’s lives. That’s why I’m encouraging my neighbors to vote for Irene Weiser to represent Caroline and Danby on the Tompkins County Legislature. Election day is June 24^th but early voting starts June 14th.

-Emily Adams
