Why I'm Running
"The best way to predict the future is to create it." - Abraham Lincoln
Thanks for visiting my website! My name is Tim Kelly, and I am running for the New York State Assembly. I consider myself, and all of us who live in Onondaga County, extremely lucky. We get to enjoy excellent neighborhoods, stellar schools and a stable environment to build lives in. I want to be part of continuing to take care of our great district.
So much of politics today may seem like its about fighting for screen time on the news or shouting matches with other representatives, but I don't want to do that. My time as Chair for the Town of Manlius Zoning Board showed me that real work gets done in government when people come together to build something, and leave their home better than they found it. When I go to Albany, I'm hoping to be part of the solution by rolling up my sleeves and delivering what New Yorkers need the most - more money in their paychecks, a safer state to call home, and an environment protected for future generations.
