Meet Jeremiah

As a kid growing up in and around Buffalo, NY, Jeremiah’s dad worked as a roofer and his mom as a nurse’s aide. His family moved around a lot as his parents changed jobs, always striving to make a better life. Jeremiah became the first person in his family to earn a college degree, and this set him on a path that would lead him to Central New York in 2003, where he’s lived ever since. He came to the area to work and study at Syracuse University, and he chose to put down roots here, meeting and marrying his wife, Sarah, a life-long Syracuse resident.

Jeremiah developed an interest in politics in high school and began volunteering on local and national campaigns as an undergrad at SUNY Geneseo. He currently serves on the Zoning Board in the Village of Liverpool and teaches a writing course with a focus on Civic Discourse & Ethics at SU. He urges his students to resist cynicism on current events and step into the public sphere to advocate for the common good. When the opportunity to run for County Legislature presented itself, Jeremiah, always one to lead by example, knew he could do no less than what he asks of them.
