SCARSDALE CITIZENS' NON-PARTISAN PARTY
JEREMY WISE
I have lived in Scarsdale for 33 years. My children were educated here, and I have always enjoyed the amenities and services that the Village has provided. If I were selected as a Trustee, I would gladly give my time and apply my experience to help the Scarsdale community.
My interest in local government began at an early age. I attended Columbia University, where I was elected to Phi Beta Kappa and received my department’s highest writing prize for a paper about the roles of a City Manager.
For three summers during college, I worked in the City Manager’s Office in New Rochelle. After one summer of law school at Boston College, I worked in the Office of the Scarsdale Village Manager.
I have dedicated most of my adult life to a variety of local government related activities. For the past 23 years, I was the Chief Legal Officer of a State entity created to assist in the financial recovery of Nassau County. My responsibilities included long term financial planning, review of budgets and contracts, and facilitating bond issuances.
I believe that each individual and interest group is entitled to have access to its government officials and a respectful airing of its concerns. Throughout my career, this approach has enabled me to successfully deal with stakeholders at all levels. I am confident that this skillset would prove useful as a Trustee.
Thank you for considering me for this position.
