Letter from Emily Falco

Benton Is Best for City Future

It is with pleasure that I am writing in support of MacGuire Benton’s candidacy for Otsego County clerk. My name is Emily Falco, and I serve as a Common Council member in Oneonta, representing the city’s downtown district. As an Independent, my priorities for local government do not favor partisan politics. I support ideas that make for healthier and stronger communities, regardless of party affiliation. And for the future of our city, I feel it is more important to evaluate proposals based on up vs. down than left vs right.

In my conversations with him, MacGuire Benton has shown that sensibility. He has expressed his desire to keep taxpayer money in the county and to provide more services for the people here. He is enthusiastic to collaborate with the City of Oneonta and is committed to bringing back a DMV office for our city.

His ideas and energy are fresh and he is passionate about public service, bringing several years of experience in local government already to the table. He has the kind of common sense leadership that we need to help propel the future of Otsego County upward. I hope you will join me in voting for MacGuire Benton on November 7th.

Emily Falco
8th Ward City Council Member
Oneonta
