Next Steps Show June 9, 2023

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to another exciting episode of the Next Steps Show. Today, we have Virginia McIntyre, the daughter of a retired law enforcement officer, a renowned artist, and candidate for Monroe County Legislator for District 4.

Born and raised in Gates, NY, Virginia McIntyre is the proud daughter of a retired law enforcement officer. From a young age, she developed a deep passion for music, performing with esteemed ensembles such as the Gates-Chili High School Concert Choir, the Bach Children’s Choir, and RAPA throughout her childhood.

After graduating from high school, Virginia continued to cultivate her love for music at Monroe Community College (MCC). She then transferred to the State University of New York (SUNY) at Purchase, earning her Bachelor's in Vocal Performance. Following this, a unique opportunity led her to Mantova, Italy, where she shifted her focus to post-graduate studies at the prestigious Conservatory of Mantova, graduating in 2005 with a degree in Vocal Performance.

In Italy, Virginia established a thriving teaching and interpreting business. She built successful collaborations with local business owners, aiding them in marketing their products and services to English-speaking audiences. Her role led to significant partnerships with the Mantova Chamber of Commerce and various businesses, including the Tourism Organization "Mantova Welcomes You".

Virginia's work swiftly expanded in scope, and she emerged as the primary reference point for the "American perspective" in Mantova. This experience deepened her understanding of international politics and sparked her interest in outreach and education.

Her return to the US in 2019 was hindered by the COVID-19 lockdown in Italy. Nonetheless, Virginia showed resilience and a determination to make a difference back home. After finally returning to Gates in 2021, she devoted herself to caring for her critically ill mother.

Upon her mother's recovery, Virginia immersed herself in local community work and political campaigns. She has served on the Comprehensive Plan Update Board for Gates and the Conservation Advisory Board/CSC Task Force. Her unwavering commitment to the community and fervor for local and county government culminated in her decision to run for Monroe County Legislator for District 4, which includes Gates and Greece.

Virginia McIntyre is driven by her mission to ensure that people's voices are heard in the governmental process. Throughout her life, she has been honing skills and accumulating experiences that position her as a strong advocate for her community.
