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.
