Eleanor’s Legacy Endorses Anna Kelles

“With a deep well of knowledge and experience as a scientist, educator, and policy maker, Dr. Anna Kelles is our choice to represent Tompkins and Cortland Counties, especially through these challenging times," said Brette McSweeney, President of Eleanor’s Legacy. “Issues such as access to affordable childcare and health care, housing as a human right, and protecting the environment are critical to families across New York State. Anna is the candidate who is most prepared to go to Albany and advocate for the women and girls of Tompkins and Cortland. Eleanor's Legacy is proud to endorse Anna Kelles, and we look forward to working alongside her.”

Eleanor’s Legacy recruits, trains, and funds pro-choice Democratic women candidates across New York at the state and local level. This community includes and welcomes all self-identifying womxn ready to build a new generation of New York leaders. Founded in 2001 by Judith Hope, the first woman to chair the New York State Democratic Committee, they are inspired by the dynamic legacy of Eleanor Roosevelt, who dedicated her life to expanding the role of all women in politics and government. As Mrs. Roosevelt said, “Democracy is not about words, but action.”
