(Syracuse, NY) – Citizen Action of New York is proud to announce its endorsement of Sharon Owens for Mayor of Syracuse. A lifelong advocate for equity and justice, Owens brings a bold, community-centered vision to City Hall—one that puts the needs of working families, neighborhoods, and everyday Syracusans first.
“Sharon Owens has spent her career fighting for the people of Syracuse,” said Shana Dhalin, Citizen Action of New York Board President. “She will be a mayor who prioritizes working families, affordable housing, quality education, and public safety rooted in community needs—not punishment.”

Her campaign puts forward a bold agenda to make Syracuse a city where everyone—no matter their zip code—can thrive.

Their commitment to justice, equity, and grassroots organizing reflects the very foundation of my campaign,” said Sharon Owens, Candidate for Mayor of Syracuse. “Together, we believe in a Syracuse where every voice matters, where working families come first, and where we build systems that serve, not silence, our communities.
