ITHACA, N.Y. (WHCU) – Ithaca mayoral candidate Robert Cantelmo has been endorsed by Planned Parenthood of Greater New York.

Planned Parenthood of Greater New York Votes PAC, the organization’s political action committee, is supporting several candidates in counties across the state for their stance on reproductive health care.

They highlighted Cantelmo’s work to make Ithaca a sanctuary city for abortion access after Roe v. Wade was overturned in 2022. Cantelmo is the sole candidate in the Democratic primary.
