Elaine Denton for County Legislator Photo by Ciara Feltham

I am excited to be running for Onondaga County Legislator to represent District 10.

As a mom of three, graphic designer, community organizer and former town councilor, I would like to serve my community by bringing my experience, skills and passion to the Onondaga County Legislature. I have been disappointed with the legislature’s lack of action, transparency and care for residents and our environment.

Onondaga County can do more for residents and our communities. 

I look forward to hearing from you and I ask for your support. 

I am running because…

Our county has a $1.5 billion dollar budget yet it is hard to know where all the money goes. Homelessness is increasing in our communities, costs continue to rise and families are getting sick from their housing. All while Onondaga County spends over $86 million of taxpayer dollars on an aquarium. We need to change the county’s priorities, take care of our residents and increase transparency in our county government.

Our communities need a strong advocate that will invest in residents by providing affordable housing, expanding mental health services, improving infrastructure, reducing poverty and funding services that support families.

Together, we can work towards a better Onondaga County!
