Ryan McDonald

Ryan McDonald Attorney - Parent - Community Advocate - Restless Tinkerer Back then, I was convinced that helping people was one of the most important jobs of all.

Before I went off to "read the law", I grew up in a small, close-knit neighborhood just across the tracks from the City of Rochester, NY. As I grew, I watched our community grapple with the economic hardship caused by the diminished success of some notable, homegrown blue-chip corporations. Even in the worst of times, my neighborhood was buoyed by the simple concepts of helping one another, and ad

vocating for what is right. Now, several years into active legal practice, I still find myself coming back to that deceptively simple idea of helping people, but with a broader vision for what that means. Today, I am blessed to work in a firm that allows me to live up to the simple neighborhood standard of helping people with the problems and concerns of everyday life as a litigation attorney, and community volunteer. Every day of work at Pullano & Farrow provides me with an opportunity to help other people. I am able to help health care providers and small, family-owned and not-for-profit businesses with various litigation and risk assessment, so they can focus on the things that matter. When I am not at work, I am also blessed to be able to contribute my talents to the advancement of our youth, the elevation of my profession through my local bar association, and various civic causes working to rebuild and revitalize my community. I take pride in completing projects successfully, on schedule and on budget. Whether you have a question regarding a contract, a labor dispute, a business-related matter, a labor and employment issue, an estate planning issue, or something in between, I would certainly be happy to talk to you about your options.

Today we pause to remember. The Gary Beikirch Veterans' Memorial at Greece Town Hall bears the names of over 5,000 men and women from our community who answered the call to serve. Each name represents a life given in dedication to the freedoms we enjoy every day.

On this Memorial Day, we honor their sacrifice — and we recommit ourselves to building a community worthy of their courage. To the families of those who served: Greece remembers. We are grateful.

Don't forget to today on your local school budget, and your Board of Education races. In Greece, head to the Transportation and Support Services Center, 1790 Latta Road at the intersection of Mt. Read Blvd. by 9:00 PM.

Every day in public education, I'm reminded why this work matters.

A student's creativity, resilience, and potential are evident everywhere you look. And behind every student's success is a team of teachers, administrators, support staff, food service workers, and transportation professionals showing up every day to keep our kids safe, supported, fed, and learning. For many students, our schools are a source of stability, encouragement, and opportunity during difficult times.

Tomorrow, suburban school districts, including Greece, head to the polls to vote on the 2026-27 school budget. I hope to see you at the Transportation Support Building, 1790 Latta Road, between 6:00 AM and 9:00 PM to support our students and the dedicated people who serve them every day.

I was born and raised right here in the Dewey Stone neighborhood, and now I'm raising my own family in Ward 1. I'm running for Town Board because our community deserves steady, ethical leadership that puts families and neighborhoods first. It's time to rebuild our historic economic core and ensure our local government works for everyone. Let's build a stronger Greece together.
