To the editor:

Sara Bollinger is running for councilor in the Town of Manlius. I have known Sara for more than 30 years. I worked with her when she was a young supervising social worker at Transitional Living Services in Syracuse. Sara’s role was critical in determining the success of the patients who resided in the half way houses. I believe she has always been willing to shoulder great responsibility.

Later I found Sara again as the leadership with the navigators of the new Affordable Care Act in 2013. She created the pathways for successful linking of consumers and insurers in the early days of the ACA in New York. As a village planning board member, she has assisted our neighbors understand the development process and helped our small business understand the village comprehensive plan for growth.

I always find Sara Wall Bollinger to be accessible and helpful. She is always in a position to assist neighbors because she is someone who is always in the know.

I encourage voters in the town of Manlius to vote for Sara Bollinger on Nov. 7.
