Landslide victory for Jeffrey in Ward 6 race
NORWICH – Voters in the 6th Ward went to the polls with a landslide support for incumbent Alderman Robert Jeffrey Tuesday, giving him just under 90 percent of the ballots in his favor.
The Chenango County Board of Elections reported Tuesday that Jeffrey had received 163 votes and Independent candidate Dan Palmer received 19.
Jeffrey also beat Palmer by a wide margin in the Republican primary, 94-15, in September.
“I’d like to thank the voters of the 6th Ward for their support and I hope I can live up to their expectations,” said Jeffrey minutes after hearing the unofficial results.
This will mark Jeffrey’s second four-year term as 6th Ward Alderman.
“We’re very happy and pleased with the results and we very much appreciate everyone’s support,” he added.
Palmer accepted the results Tuesday saying, “I’d like to thank the voters for this opportunity and I look forward to running again next time.”
Palmer said he was disappointed in the numbers, but said he used the election as a learning experience.
“I’m a little disappointed there weren’t more candidates in our local elections. Many are running unopposed. I wanted people to have some choice,” he said.
Jeffrey said he campaigned strongly in the election, going door to door in his ward to meet with local residents.
“When I was going door to door, I heard a reoccurring mandate from people – they want the city to continue investing in their neighborhoods and community,” he said.
Jeffrey said voters commented on a number of programs designed to re-invest in the community’s infrastructure, such as the Restore New York Grants, rental registration, the sidewalk replacement program and the paint rebate program. Many of the those programs involved the city offering monetary aid or incentive to residents wanting to physically improve their properties.
Jeffrey affirmed his campaign priorities Tuesday night, saying he still believes in mitigating the city’s rising state retirement costs; continuing to secure funding for cleaning up blighted properties in the 6th Ward and elsewhere; encouraging developers and landlords to build and rent quality housing; and working to restore a sense of safety and civic responsibility.
