Spotlight on Election 2022
Most American women first voted in 1920 in national and state elections, making the 2022 election the 122nd anniversary of women voting. Due to the June 22 US Supreme Court decision in Dobbs v Jackson Women's Health Organization, a high turnout of female voters is expected
As you are aware most politicians, pundits and public officials are calling the 2022 US Congressional, state and some gubernatorial candidate elections among the most important in our history. Stakes are high with voters divided on critical issues. In the attachment included are prep questions and voting information. Please share them with friends, family, colleagues as you see fit. Remind people Election Day is November 8th .
AN INVITATION: After the election we would like to interview a sample of our members about your thoughts on the election issues that influenced your choices. We will not ask what candidates earned your votes. Due to COVID, we were not able to do the interviews we had hoped in 2020. These historic midterms are an excellent opportunity to check in with YOU!
Elizabeth would agree!
Please contact Jennifer Gardella at gardella15@gmail.com to sign up for the interview list. We hope that at least 25% of our members will be willing to make this historic ECSHA record. Interviews will be recorded by phone or in person. Interviews will take about 1 hour. You may remain anonymous. We also need volunteers to interview. Please help!
By Nov. 4th please let me know whether you are willing:
(1) to be an interviewee post-election. And/or
(2) to conduct an interview for 1 or 2 ECSHA members
.

Statue of Elizabeth Cady Stanton
at Sir William Johnson Park
After a fantastic unveiling in August 2021, the statue honoring our hometown hero, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, is settled on her bench in the Sir William Johnson Memorial Park (W. Main Street between N. Market & N. William).
People have been coming by to take pictures next to Elizabeth - exactly as was intended. Stop by and have your picture with Elizabeth - there is room on her bench and she enjoys the company any time.
