Putting People First

In office my first priority will be to keep the real needs of people at the forefront of every key decision. People drive the processes. Putting people first in the equation is the key to success in all walks of life. Missions and organizational systems are in place to serve, not to dictate and our government fails to serve its goals when we forget to ask, How does this decision affect the people?

~ Candidate Karen Hanford

It's Time for Change . . .

Karen is running as a Democrat for Onondaga County Legislator in the 6th District. Her vision is of a county that demonstrates what bipartisan cooperation, resource value education, and well-researched long-range planning can accomplish. Economic development that benefits Onondaga County and the surrounding regions is the heart of her vision: a community that provides opportunity for every citizen today, and for all of our families in the future.

Karen is willing to work for you and she believes that by working together we can make a difference. If this is your idea of what government should do, then Karen is your candidate. Karen looks to your support to make her campaign successful. Please talk to your family, friends, and neighbors and “get-out-the-vote” November 6th.
