Tseffos believes working together builds community

By Julia Squier

Please support Emily Tseffos for the 56th State Assembly District. She is working hard, talking to many constituents and leaders in the 56th State Assembly District, to determine what will make our community better. She is listening to the needs of Democrats and Republicans in her district. Emily believes there is more that unites us than divides us; she will find ways to unite individuals around good legislation for our community.

What is her opponent doing? He is not showing up or responding to public forum invites. He is issuing press releases, targeting certain groups in our area to create fear without fully knowing all facts. If he was truly concerned about public safety, he would be issuing press releases about all crime with solutions to solve all criminal behavior.

He should be adequately funding our public schools, but during his tenure in office, special education funding is only at 33%. Additionally, he has not increased funding to our public schools to keep up with inflation; the last increase was in 2008. (Research shows investment in public education decreases adult criminal behavior.)

If you live in the 56th, make sure to complete the oval on your ballot next to Emily Tseffos, an individual who will work hard for her entire district.
