“New Paltz has changed quite a bit and will likely change a whole lot more in the near future. It should be our hope to manage that change. I trust Tim to lead that charge. He listens intently, rattles off facts and figures to support both sides of any issue, and then listens some more. Add the level of tenacity and resourcefulness he brought to his time at the village and I think we will be in pretty good hands as we navigate all that the future might throw our way. We would be hard-pressed to find someone who cares as much or is as determined to see us get it right.”

“Tim Rogers is smart, capable and results-driven. His leadership has led to real progress: expanding housing options, constructing a firehouse that stands out for its green design, and securing millions in grants to improve our water and sewer systems. He has enhanced walkability, invested in green infrastructure, planted trees and improved roadways — making our community safer, more resilient and more livable. Importantly, he has accomplished all of this without raising taxes. We would be fortunate to have him as Supervisor.”

“If you speak to the people who work for the village alongside Tim, they’ll tell you that his commitment is unwavering and his ethic of care is bottomless. He takes his job so seriously and always considers all the information he can in order to learn how to serve our community better…I’m excited for a potential village and town consolidation in order to live in a more streamlined community, and there is truly no one better to run it than Tim. As another Mr. Rogers once said: look for the helpers. You won’t find someone more helpful than ours."

“We have lived, worked, owned a business, socialized, and volunteered in the New Paltz community for over 30 years. Throughout that time, we have known Tim as a trusted friend, fellow parent, avid bicyclist, dedicated athletic coach, and faithful community servant….Tim is the right choice to lead New Paltz into its next chapter. He is smart, capable, and well-versed in all the various intricacies that make up our community. And, he likes to keep our taxes low — something that I’m sure many can relate to in these precarious times.”

“We need people like Tim — equally as excited about the big things that make New Paltz special as he is about the unseen details. I challenge you to find a mayor who has navigated the challenging grant landscape better than Tim has in regards to utilities, infrastructure and municipal well-being. He is tireless, transparent and effective in his actions and how he represents our interests — he’ll help the combined town and village be proud of who we are, while finding creative ways to make things flow more smoothly.”

“The act of governing should be consistent and free from drama — it is real work. Tim Rogers, a lifelong New Paltz native, has demonstrated his committed to leading on principles, not the party-line, without the cult-of-personality-politics that distracts from executing the hard work of being a servant-leader. An example of his long-term vision, fiscal responsibility, and commitment to the environment is the multi-year, multi-grant-funded sewer pipe replacement project. How marvelous is that?”

“As the former police chief, I saw the inefficiencies of two governments firsthand. I do not know if consolidation is the answer, but I believe we have a responsibility to explore the option and applaud Tim’s efforts. Tim’s experience and leadership make him extremely qualified to be our next Town Supervisor, especially as our village and town governments explore consolidation. The Town Supervisor job is demanding, and one Tim is uniquely qualified to handle.”

“I’ve been extremely impressed with Tim’s savvy efforts when it comes to applying for state grants and low-interest loans to constantly improve local infrastructure. It’s not exactly the most exciting of topics, but extremely important to our quality of life, and it’s clear that Tim has taken the time to research the necessary logistics, history and consult experts to make informed decisions. I am continually impressed with Tim’s leadership, thoughtful approach to politics and his ability to improve our quality of life without substantial tax increases.”
