Duffy Announces Bid for Chester Township Mayor

Vows to Put Community First

Chester Township, N.J., May 8, 2019—Jim Duffy proudly announced his plans to run for mayor of Chester Township in Morris County, New Jersey.

Duffy is a decade-long resident of Chester Township, along with his wife and three children. He currently serves on the Chester Township Environmental Commission, where he is focused on renewing the township’s sustainability certification.

Duffy’s campaign theme is based on Putting Community First.  As Mayor, he will focus on three key areas:

·        Transparent Leadership: Chester township residents deserve to be more involved in local decision making through collaboration and community engagement.

·        Efficient Spending, Lower Costs:  Chester Township can work more creatively with neighboring municipalities.  We need to spend tax dollars more efficiently, which can help lower costs.

·        Environmental Stewardship:  Our greatest assets are the farms, agriculture, green space and recreational resources that surround us.  We need to be more diligent in how they are improved, managed and protected.

A former U.S. Peace Corps volunteer and teacher, Duffy has extensive experience consulting public- and private-sector clients on various marketing and public relations programs.  Today, Jim is vice president of marketing for a leading global provider of business outsourcing solutions.  He is also chair of the Dean’s Advisory Board to the College of Humanities and Social Sciences at William Paterson University.

“Jim Duffy has a proven record of leadership and service both within and outside of his community. He would make an excellent Mayor of Chester Township,” said Chip Robinson, Chair of the Morris County Democratic Committee.

Duffy earned his Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in English from William Paterson University in Wayne, New Jersey.  He also has a Master’s degree in marketing from Emerson College in Boston.
