THE WORKING FAMILIES PARTY CANDIDATE
A Progressive democrat who's fighting for familIES...
As a single mom, I understand firsthand the challenges single, working, and middle-class families face. I've experienced difficulties putting food on the table; covering the high cost of childcare, housing and insurance; having my car repossessed; and starting a business from the ground up. That's why I'm running!!!
This administration has failed Americans by gutting the Voting Rights Act, unleashing ICE in our neighborhoods, punishing LGBTQ+ youth, politicizing women's reproductive organs, driving up living costs, and reducing SNAP, HEAP, social security and safety-net services for our most vulnerable residents. We need an experienced voice who will fight to bring policy, jobs, and opportunity back to LD16. Someone who can articulate issues; work across the aisle with DEMs and Republicans at the county, city and state level; and will show up in the community for our families and small businesses.
No more meet-to-meet or kumbaya politics. I'm a progressive Democrat who's ready to fight for our seniors, children and families! I've fought in the courtroom, classroom, and the legislature, and I know how to work across the aisle. I'm on the ballot November 3rd as the Working Families Party ("WFP") candidate. Go down ballot, past the Democrat and Republican lines, and fill in the Working Families line to support me.
WFP is a New York State-formed progressive political party (1998). Our key policy initiatives include:
- Raising the minimum wage
- Expanding public education
- Universal paid sick leave
- Medicare for All
- Reducing student debt
- Progressive taxation
- Environmental reform
*WFP has endorsed Atty General Letitia James, Sen Rachel May, Assemblymember Pamela Hunter, County Legislator Maurice Brown, Governor Kathy Hochul, and Texas US Rep Jasmine Crockett among many other progressive leaders nationwide.

That's where you'll find Charlene Tarver, JD, LL.M.- The most experienced, proven candidate in the Onondaga County Legislative District 16 race. -A candidate ready to fight and protect you, your family, and your small business on day 1.
"As your next LD16 legislator, I'll be in the community speaking with constituents, seeking answers and input to some of our most critical challenges.

The People's Candidate
Charlene is a former practicing attorney, adjunct professor, policy advocate, and Goldman Sachs 10ksb champion for small business. Like her parents Roosevelt and Mary Tarver (owners of Oasis Fish House), Charlene loves District 16 and is running to drive greater community and economic development across the district.
Throughout her life and career, Charlene's been a statewide advocate and champion for those living in the margins. She's a visionary, diplomatic leader experienced in working across the aisle to get things done. She's fought for police body worn cameras, called for an end to racial profiling, repealed a 12-month lifetime cap on food stamps, and lobbied a former state governor to shelter in place and pass moratoriums to prevent utility shutoffs and evictions during COVID-19. Charlene's also co-developing a $42M mixed-use affordable, senior housing micro-community and operates an expo and incubator for women entrepreneurs. While living in Arizona Charlene served on the Parks and Rec Board, Pension Reform Task Force, and Industrial Development Authority Board. She's fought in the courtroom; championed public policy at the state legislature; and is ready to advocate and work across the county as LD 16's next County Legislator!

Fighting for Working Famillies
"I'm proud to be endorsed by the Working Families Party and to be on their line November 3rd. I want to make sure LD16 is at the table, and that we're not left behind in healthcare, education, and housing--3 basic human rights we all deserve; no questions asked. I've fought my life and career for common sense policy that protects poor and marginalized people. It was time to bring that fight home to Onondaga County where we face the highest concentration of Black and Latino child poverty in the nation."
"My campaign is a grassroots movement where the people come first, not titles, slogans, or political agendas, but strong families and neighborhoods, economic growth (job creation and small business support), livable wages, affordable rent and housing, and integrated mental health and public safety services."
"I'm a strong supporter of the labor movement, environmental reform, LGBTQ+ and women's rights. And I'm honored to stand with labor and WFP to fight for children and families across LD16 to demand our fair share of Onondaga County's proposed $1.7B 2027 budget. I'm ready to fight and protect our SNAP, HEAP, Social Security, Medicaid/Medicare programs and keep food affordable and on our tables. I'll also fight for greater investment in our schools, libraries, and neighborhoods."

Why I’m Running
"Never ever be afraid to make some noise, and get in good trouble, necessary trouble". — Congressman John Lewis
Often times, things don't change without some good trouble. When we stand together, and cause good trouble, we can create policies and systems that make Onondaga County stronger, more inclusive, and more efficient....Better for all the children and families, seniors, and small businesses that call Onondaga County home.
I love District 16 and that pride has taken me around the world! Everything I've done in my career was preparation for serving the community that raised me. As a native Syracusan, I’m running because I’m skilled, qualified, and ready to lead. Let’s stand together and make some good trouble to improve the quality of life for residents across Onondaga County.
