What people are saying . . .
“. . . actually used to work for CASA of the Southern Tier and I had a case with Dan and I remember him as being one of the attorneys who really seemed to actually care about the outcome of the kids and the mom in this case. I will never forget it. Elmira families would be fortunate to have him as a judge!!! I will absolutely support him 100%!!”
— Amy Winkles, Elmira City Resident
“It’s the city you walk the street of, too. It’s the city, all parts of it - that you choose to interact within.
Not better than. Not “bring back the Elmira of the Golden Days.”
As mentioned to Dan directly, and to many others including a discussion with an employee just today over breakfast as she looked to form her opinion on who to vote for, for Elmira’s next city court judge
You’re present. You’re feet on the streets and not just canvassing. I witnessed you at Juneteeth. I’ve paid attention to where I’ve actually seen you, what you’re actually doing while in these places. The variety of people you’re speaking with.
You’re not just cherry-picking your interactions. Not just tier 1 voters. Not just funders. People. People who represent Elmira. Blue collar, working class, various life stages, various belief systems, backgrounds, physical presentations, “upper crust” - you’re just you. What you see, is what you get.
Elmira doesn’t scare you. You’re not insular in your approach.
I’ve paid close attention to your demeanor and body language as you speak 1:1 or in group settings. It’s not just PR. It’s authenticity.
I’ve met your wife and family - lovely humans beings. Extensions of you.
I’ve switched my initial support to Cain because of what I’ve witnessed. Firsthand witnessed. Not through ad campaigns (though they’ve bolstered my opinion), but through what I saw, what I experienced with you as a human.”
- Julie Chambers - Wadsworth, Elmira City Resident

Dan O’Connell, City of Elmira Resident and Retired Business Owner
“Dan has worked as a lawyer in the Chemung County area for nearly 20 years . . . what will make Dan a good Judge is Dan himself. Dan is honest. He is thoughtful. He is fair minded. He is willing to listen to all sides of the dispute. Maybe the most important is Dan is a caring and compassionate person . . . I ask you to support Dan Cain and elect him to become our next City Court Judge.”
- Kevin McInerny, City of Elmira Resident and Business Owner
“I can’t speak highly enough to his work ethic and the amount of faith I have that he will pursue this job with integrity and honesty. He’s not a politician. He’s just a good hardworking man that anyone would be proud to have in this capacity for our community…. I highly endorse Dan Cain”
