Dr. Nazish Jeffery for Monroe County Legislator - District 12
Rooted in Science, Committed to Community
Together, we can build a stronger Monroe County.
I Believe…
In Economic Development For All
Every community deserves access to opportunity. I’ll work to bring smart, inclusive economic development strategies to Monroe County, supporting small businesses, attracting innovation, and investing in workforce development across all neighborhoods. When we build systems that work for everyone, we all thrive.
In Amplifying Rural Voice
Rural communities are too often overlooked in county policy. I’m committed to ensuring our rural neighbors have a strong voice in decision-making, with equitable access to services, infrastructure, and investment. Listening and responding to their needs is critical to Monroe County’s success.
In Access to Clean Energy and Water
Clean air, water, and energy shouldn’t be luxuries - they are rights. I’ll champion policies that expand access to clean energy, invest in green infrastructure, and protect our water resources for generations to come. Sustainability must be at the core of our county’s growth.
In Fair & Equitable Housing
Everyone deserves a safe, affordable place to call home. I’ll support housing policies that address affordability, protect tenants, and promote smart development without displacing long-standing communities. Housing stability is essential to economic mobility and public health.
In Fiscal Responsibility While Promoting Opportunities for Monroe County
We can be both responsible stewards of taxpayer dollars and bold in our vision for the future. I’ll prioritize smart budgeting, data-driven decision-making, and investments that yield long-term benefits like education, infrastructure, and innovation. Fiscal discipline should empower, not limit, progress.
