Robert D. Jeffrey to run for Alderman Ward 6
NORWICH – Lifelong Norwich-resident Robert D. Jeffrey has officially announced his candidacy in the upcoming election for Alderman Ward 6 for the City of Norwich Common Council.
Jeffrey announces his campaign for Alderman in response to areas of the City of Norwich – and Ward 6 in particular – that he believes need "serious attention."
"My main concern is every resident in the City of Norwich is only one or two blocks away from an area that needs serious attention," said Jeffrey. "There is a deterioration of the neighborhoods in Ward 6 and I hope to change that through open communication with residents."
Son of Bob Jeffrey and Monica Branciforti Jeffrey, Jeffrey says he's a lifelong resident of York Street in downtown Norwich and he has seen an air of complacency over the years hinder his community.
"Complacency has hurt the quality of life within the Ward [6] and City," said Jeffrey. "I’ve spoken with many residents already and their concern has been the cleanliness, safety, and security as well as the lack of pride people have taken within their properties."
Jeffrey says that drug-related crimes are a part of this, and he says residents, too, are "fed up" with it.
"It's time we start to take back the pride in our neighborhoods and look to reclaim our safety and security," said Jeffrey. "We've lost our sense of security, and that's incredibly concerning."
Asked what he would bring to the City Council should he be elected Alderman, Jeffrey said, "I have the passion, commitment, and energy to see the City of Norwich strive for excellence. I provide a different perspective with the desire to get involved and give back to a community that means so much to me."
An alumni of Norwich High School, Jeffrey has since continued his education at Le Moyne College majoring in History with a concentration in Adolescent Education. He is a Parishioner of St. Bartholomew's Church where he serves as a lector and an altar server, and also a member of the Chenango County Republican Committee.
"How can we expect anyone from outside the county to invest in the City of Norwich if we don’t invest the time and effort into keeping our neighborhoods clean and safe?" asked Jeffrey. "The backbone of any town or city should be its neighborhoods and residents, and frankly we need to invest in ourselves before anyone else will invest in us."
Jeffrey says in the upcoming months he intends to make himself available to meet and speak with residents of the City and Ward 6 as the election approaches.
The position of Ward 6 is currently held by Alderwoman Jennifer Morris in the wake of former-Alderman Tom LoPiccolo's resigning on March 31 of this year.
The primary election for the City of Norwich Alderman Ward 6 will be held on September 12, 2017.
