Under the current leadership, political cronyism has hindered progress and undermined the trust of the community. Michael Hennessy firmly believes in promoting a culture of fairness, where appointments and decisions are made based on expertise, experience, and the desire to serve the public.

​

Furthermore, financial mismanagement has plagued Oneida County, resulting in wasted taxpayer dollars and missed opportunities for growth and development. Hennessy's track record as a fiscally responsible legislator, ranked "Most Fiscally Responsible" every term, demonstrates his ability to make sound financial decisions and allocate resources efficiently. He will work tirelessly to implement transparent budgeting processes, eliminate unnecessary expenditures, and prioritize investments that benefit the entire community.

​

Oneida County residents deserve leaders who prioritize their needs over their own self-interest. Hennessy strongly opposes self-given pay increases that only serve to further burden taxpayers. He believes that elected officials should lead by example and demonstrate fiscal restraint, especially during challenging times. As County Executive, he will reject such increases and ensure that the county's resources are directed towards vital services, infrastructure improvements, and initiatives that enhance the quality of life for all residents.

​

Michael Hennessy's campaign for Oneida County Executive represents a genuine commitment to tackle the issues of political cronyism, financial mismanagement. Through transparent governance, responsible financial stewardship, and a dedication to serving the best interests of the community, Hennessy will work tirelessly to restore trust, foster economic growth, and create a more equitable and prosperous Oneida County for all its residents.
