Investing in Rochester by investing in us.
On City Council, Mary has focused on violence prevention, transparency, housing justice, and making council a stronger, more deliberative body. As our mayor, she will build on these accomplishments to make Rochester the safe, secure, and resilient home we deserve.
a letter from MAry
Our City Deserves Better.
I’m running to be our mayor because it’s time for leadership that puts our city—its people, neighborhoods, and future—first.
Our city is filled with potential, creativity, and resilience. But right now, crises in housing, public safety, homelessness, infrastructure, and economic justice are holding us back. Too often, our leaders choose quick fixes that don’t solve the deeper issues or make the meaningful changes our city needs to thrive.
This is not the time for complacency or the status quo. Our city can’t wait. We cannot meet urgent challenges with slow, incremental change when the cost of housing, energy, and even basic necessities continues to rise at a relentless pace. Rochester deserves bold leadership that tackles these issues head-on with sustainable, long-term solutions.
I’m running for mayor because I believe in our city’s ability to innovate and grow. I know that these challenges are interconnected, and they require leadership that sees the big picture. I am ready to make principled decisions, stand up for what’s right, and invest in the future of Rochester—together.
As a mother, activist, bilingual educator in the RCSD, and City Councilmember, I’ve spent my adult life fighting for our city. As our mayor, I will be able to fight even harder to ensure Rochester is a place where every person can succeed and every neighborhood can thrive.
Let’s build the Rochester our city deserves—together.
