Valley Stream trustees seeking re-election

Tufarelli said that he prides himself on constituent services, and is always willing to listen. He describes himself as an average village resident who understands how much people can pay in taxes, how the streets should be maintained and how the parks should be kept.

If residents have concerns, Tufarelli said, he wants to hear them. “I believe that there’s always room for improvement,” he said. “There have to be problems that we’re not aware of. We want to be aware of them and we want to correct them.”

In his four years on the board, he has remained the only constant. When he was first elected in 2008, Ed Cahill was mayor and the other trustees were Guido Cirenza, Joanne Antun and Fare. Since then, Cahill and Cirenza have died, Antun did not run for re-election last year and Fare became mayor. But the village hasn’t missed a beat, Tufarelli said, because the new board members have been of the same mindset as the veterans — devoted to the people.

In her first official run for public office, Clavin-Higgins said she is learning a lot about the process. And while the campaign will go on for the next month and a half, she said the board will not lose sight of the business it still has to do. “We face a lot of challenges,” she said.

Tufarelli said he won’t be doing anything differently from his first campaign four years ago. “You just have to be yourself,” he said. “I’ve never tried to be a phony. You have to be honest to yourself so you can be honest to the residents.”

The only change for Tufarelli is his running mate. It was Fare in 2008. Running with Clavin-Higgins, he said, has been an enjoyable experience, and he has gotten to know her better. “I believe it’s a strong ticket,” he said.

So far, there is no opposition for the two seats, but there is still time. The deadline for petitions to be submitted to the village clerk is Feb. 14.
