The Lansing Democratic Committee is delighted with Democratic victories in the election of November 8.

William Burin was re-elected without opposition to a fourth term as Lansing Town Justice. This is recognition of the high regard in which Burin, a former policeman known for his fairness and impartiality on the bench, is held throughout Lansing among voters of all political persuasions.

We congratulate Dooley Kiefer for re-election to her fourth term serving the Village of Lansing in District 10 of the County Legislature. Kiefer will continue to advocate for public health, the County Library, and safe bridges and roads.

Hurf Sheldon, candidate for Tompkins County Legislature District 6, and Greg Lawrence, candidate for Lansing Town Board, each performed strongly but fell short of electoral victory. The Lansing Democratic Committee congratulates their opponents and urges all elected officials to set aside partisanship to pursue the common goal of good government for Lansing.

The Lansing Democratic Committee looks forward to continuing to work with the Lansing Town Board and the Tompkins County Legislature on the issues that matter most to voters: protecting the health of our residents, investing in our infrastructure and community, and guaranteeing a family-friendly community for all of our residents.

ImageLansing politicians turned out for the Lansing Lions Club Fall Pancake Breakfast last Sunday (10/30).  Some campaigned, some helped cook and others came to eat.  The breakfast presented one of the last opportunities for candidates to reach a lot of voters.

Mike Sigler (R), who is running for the County Board District 6 seat, was outside the Lansing Community Center bright and early, handing out flyers and talking to voters about tax reform and other hot issues.  Later he was joined by District Attorney George Dentes (R), who is running for another term.  He was giving out post-it pads with his name imprinted on each sheet.

Town Justice: William F. Burin Print Recommend This Article to a Friend

William Burin has lived in Lansing all his life. A retired Ithaca policeman, he has raised several foster children over 25 years. A Democrat, he is running unopposed for a fourth term as Town Justice, one of the two judges who preside in Lansing.

Although he is running unopposed we felt residents would like to know about who they are voting for, and Judge Burin agreed to talk to the Star about his candidacy. We met in his office in the Town Hall Thursday (11/03).
