Why am I running?

We have many issues facing Onondaga Count. Having worked for the County, and seeing how our government functions, it gave me an inside perspective.

With that perspective I decided to become actively involved in the union, seeing there were many things going on at the same time. Things that were affecting County employees, as well as the local Community.

During my involvement with the union I was actively involved in many capacities, represented thousands of members, was involved in organizing and political campaigns, and gained immense knowledge into the functions of Onondaga County government.

During that time, myself and others raised serious concerns, and engaged other avenues to help in the process of advocating for members. That included involving other agencies and the media.*

Without voices from the community to drive decision making, such as the Aquarium, we are allowing unchecked power to one person. We have seen how that can affect us.

We can do more when we focus locally.

Onondaga County deserves better, and we can get there with the right representation, and the power of community.

Vote for me!

Tammy Honeywell, for County Legislature in District 8.
