Since the number of candidates is fewer than the agreed on number of 8-10, a proposal will be made at the meeting to vote in the slate rather than voting on individual candidates. The coordinating committee can appoint up to 3 additional members, if you are interested in joining the coordinating committee email us for more information.

I have been active with the CNY Solidarity since 2017. I help keep our website and social media up to date and I have been helping more with our weekly newsletter since making the switch to Action Network. I have served on the coordinating committee for multiple terms and would like to continuing serving. As a graphic designer and a former Manlius Town Councilor, I would like to continue educating people about local government. I am also a member of the State and Local Action Team (SLAT).

Dick Kornbluth
I am a Syracuse resident and a retired Home Performance contractor (Home Performance contracting treats the house as a system providing energy efficiency upgrades that address issues of comfort, health, safety and building durability). I have been active in CNY Solidarity since January 2017. I currently serve on the Coordinating Committee and the Climate justice committees. I also represent the CNY Solidarity Coalition in the Urban Jobs Task Force where I serve on their Finance Committee, and to Greening USA where I serve as a non-voting representative on their board of directors. My main interest is to work to make CNY Solidarity a sustainable organization that will be a force for justice for the long haul.
