Dryden Democrats Nominate Proven Leaders for Re-Election This November

July Democratic Town Caucus

At their July 23 caucus, we nominated four experienced Town leaders for re-election in November – Dryden Supervisor Jason Leifer, Town Councilmembers Dan Lamb and Leonardo Vargas-Mendez, and Highway Superintendent Rick Young. Joining them on the ballot will be Tompkins County Legislator Greg Mezey seeking a second term and Dryden Village Trustee Dan Wakeman running to succeed Mike Lane on the County Legislature. Greg and Dan were nominated via the during a primary election in June. All six candidates will also be running on the “Protecting Dryden” ballot line.

This fall, Dryden voters have a clear choice: keep moving forward with experienced, effective local leaders who have delivered real results for our community—or risk losing the momentum we’ve built together. The team of Jason, Dan, Leonardo, and Rick has produced tangible improvements in infrastructure, economic development, affordable housing, communication, and broadband access, transforming Dryden into a stronger, more connected, and more resilient town.
