Hannah is a local Ithacan and third-year student at Cornell’s School of ILR. She's lived in Ithaca since 2016, when she moved here with her family. Hannah attended Ithaca High School and has been outspoken about injustices in Ithaca since her time as an editor of The Tattler, IHS's newspaper. She has worked with political, community, and labor organizations both on and off-campus, including the Ithaca Tenants Union, Ithaca Teachers Association, United Auto Workers Local 2300, Ithaca DSA/Cornell YDSA, the Tompkins County Working Families Party, and the Just Cause Coalition. With these organizations, she has advocated for working people, canvassing, writing op-eds, helping with planning campaigns, and more. She works at the Tompkins County Worker Center, where she staffs the Workers' Rights Hotline. Hannah's priority is to make Ithaca more affordable and just for all Ithacans, through policies that address housing, labor, infrastructure, and the environment. Hannah is running for council because she's seen firsthand how Ithaca's affordability and equity crisis is affecting Ithaca's working families. She believes that - now more than ever - local government must step up and fight to ensure that all Ithacans, regardless of immigration status, race, gender, socioeconomic status, and more, can feel safe and secure in their city.
Hannah is running as a Democrat for Ward 5 Common Council, with the endorsement of the Working Families Party.
