Martha Robertson was both the first woman and the first Democrat - TopicsExpress



          

Martha Robertson was both the first woman and the first Democrat from her district to be elected to the Tompkins County Legislature, where she forged a reputation for consensus-building and compromise in the interest of the county’s neighborhoods, small businesses and green spaces. After toppling an incumbent in 2001, she won election to the legislature’s chair no fewer than four times, with bipartisan support. Now she’s ready to take that experience and progressive pragmatism to Congress – by defeating two-term Tea Party Rep. Tom Reed in New York’s 23rd Congressional District. emilyslist.org/what/candidates/martha-robertson
