RUN FOR SOMETHING: Elaine Denton for Onondaga County Legislator, District 10
To build community Elaine knows you have to start with your neighbors. As Manlius Town Councilor, she created the Neighborhood Sidewalk Program. This program gives residents a citizen-led path to advocate for improving the walkability of their neighborhood and increasing pedestrian safety.
She volunteers for local organizations, including CNY Solidarity and the Syracuse Peace Council. Elaine recognizes cooperation rather than competition with neighbors strengthens our communities. As a graphic designer, she uses her knowledge of design, technology and communication to inform and engage people.
Elaine has lived in Manlius for over 15 years with her husband, Matthew, their children, Caprice, Lionel and August, and an assortment of chickens.
Elaine grew up on a dairy farm her family has owned for 8 generations in West Winfield, NY. She graduated from Mount Markham High School and earned her bachelor degree in New Media Design from Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT).
