To the Editor: I support Manna Jo Greene for Ulster County Legislator. I have known Manna for nearly 30 years through her community involvement. Manna is active, dedicated, and engaged in local and statewide issues.

Manna is a good listener and inclusive of all. She shows up for our community in her position as Ulster County Legislator as well as a friend and neighbor. She has worked with the Rondout Valley High School Human Rights Club that I was the advisor to on environmental issues as well as strategies for improving our school, sharing her insights and expertise while listening to and including our youth in the decision-making process.

When I have attended Ulster County Legislative sessions, Manna expresses curiosity about the topics at hand. She is interested in the multiple viewpoints of our community members. She is aware of and knowledgeable about the needs of our community members. She advocates for accessible housing, food security, mental health services, access to health care, adequate transportation, the environment, and other issues that strengthen our communities and residents. She works to represent her constituents to have the best Ulster County possible.

Manna is one of the pillars of District 19. She is recognized by our community and received the Mohonk Consultations Distinguished Achievement Award. Manna Jo Greene is an asset to our area as the Ulster County Legislator representing Marbletown and Rosendale.
