Endorsements

“We stand with Iris Packman for her strong record of fighting for working people and her unwavering commitment to fairness. As a labor lawyer and policy advocate, Iris has spent her career championing worker rights, equity, and social justice. She has been a visible ally in our fair contract campaign, standing up for educators and showing true respect for those who serve our students. Her commitment to affordable housing, quality public services, and community well-being makes her a powerful advocate for all families in Tompkins County.”

— Ithaca Teachers Association

“I have known Iris Packman for over 30 years. Having grown up in Ithaca, she brings understanding of our unique community. She received the endorsement of the Working Families Party because she’s demonstrated the will to fight for good jobs, clean energy and affordable childcare. She has my endorsement, too.”
— Carol Chock, former County Legislator 2007-2017

“Iris is the ideal candidate for our Legislature. Of course, she is a lifelong Tompkins County resident with stellar educational credentials and years of valuable and relevant career experience. More important to me, Iris embodies a demographic that needs more representation in County government: working parents of young children. Her current circumstances and lived experience are reflected in her commitment to working on the affordable housing, economic development, climate, and educational issues that are of most concern to all Tompkins County residents.”
