Welcome
Dear Neighbor,
As a lifelong resident of this community and alum of its schooling system, I have chosen to stay and raise my own family right here in Geddes and Onondaga County. Just like you, I know the value of hard work and the pride that comes with achieving “the American dream.” And just like you, I long for a better life for my children and their children in this great place that we call home.

But I have never been one to just sit back and accept the status quo as acceptable, nor have I been one to complain about something without getting totally involved to help improve or make better a situation or concern. For these reasons and more, I am running as your representative on the Onondaga County Legislature (8th District). I want to be your ears and your voice, to fight for the things that we all expect should be provided by our local government in a timely and cost-effective manner.
I want to trim the excess waste from our county budget and reduce the tax implications for your family and mine. I want to invigorate our community with new quality jobs and affordable housing, and to lessen the burden on our social services system that financially impacts each and every one of our local taxpayers.
Most of all, I want to rally around our youth and our senior citizens and everyone in between to address your needs, resolve your problems, and instill in everyone the pride that living in this community brings. Together, we can make Onondaga County a vibrant, fun, safe, and financially sound community where our residents and their children and grandchildren wish to remain and raise their own families.
Thanks for stopping by, and I hope to see more of you in the months to come.
~ Jim
