Alyssa Jahrling: ‘I want to improve life and business in our village’

My name is Alyssa Werner Jahrling, and I am seeking your support for re-election as Village of Florida Trustee.

I was appointed by Mayor Harter and enjoy supporting my neighbors in the community.

Being fifth generation in Florida, a business owner and a parent to children at Golden Hill, I am deeply rooted to our village. I treasure our small town while also welcoming smart growth that benefits our village.

I graduated as valedictorian from SS Seward in 1998, have a BA in Anthropology from SUNY New Paltz and manage my family’s businesses of Werner’s Ace Hardware and JM Werner Bag.

I am passionate about volunteering and serve as the Service Unit Manager for Florida Girl Scouts, a Scout Leader and a Girls on the Run Coach. I organize youth recreation programs and am always looking for ways to help our community groups.

As Village Trustee, my top priority is continuing to improve our drinking water at Glenmere Lake. I am actively involved in finding ways to upgrade the water treatment plant and filtration process. I have met with water engineers, the DEC and other experts. I am working hard to speed this process along in the most efficient and fiscally responsible way for you the taxpayer.

I want to improve life and business in our village. We need to take care of our infrastructure and community spaces so we can thrive together.

As a current trustee, I serve as liaison to the Chamber of Commerce and to the Parks and Rec Department. n these departments, my long term goals are repairing/expanding sidewalks, retaining walls and parking lots, building a new basketball court and adding additional hiking trails, community spaces and youth programs as the budget allows.

I promise to be financially responsible and prioritize the needs of the community for the best possible results.

As a business owner in our village, I am readily accessible to serve as needed. I have a diverse skill-set and experiences that I can put to use as a trustee.

For Werner’s Ace, I manage our inventory, billing, marketing, purchasing, larger corporate/municipal bids and lend support to my employees.

For JM Werner Bag, I am in charge of sales, purchasing, graphic design, and freight logistics of onion bags and other packaging supplies. I manage budgets, handle payroll and taxes, and work with networks of people to organize projects.

I am available to all residents of Florida if you need a trustee to speak with. I am committed to our community and will work hard.

As a planner and multi-tasker, I thrive on challenges and enjoy reviewing proposals, researching improvements and taking action to make things happen for our village.

I am proud to raise my children in Florida and want to continue making a difference. I promise to put the needs of the community first and answer only to you, the voters.

Please show your support and vote for me Alyssa Jahrling for Village of Florida Trustee on March 16th.

Thank you.

Alyssa Jahrling
