Somers town, New York - Elections Simplified

Robert currently serves as Somers Town Supervisor, a position he has held since 2022.

My priorities for Somers are maintaining strong fiscal discipline while continuing to invest in the services, infrastructure, and quality of life our residents expect. That means keeping property taxes under control, protecting our Aaa credit rating, and aggressively pursuing grants to reduce the burden on local taxpayers.

Infrastructure remains a major focus, including roads, drainage, water and sewer, sidewalks, and long-term capital planning.

Public Services

Just as important is responsible planning for Somers’ future. We must manage growth carefully, protect our community character and environment, support our seniors and families, and preserve local decision-making. Throughout all of this, my priority is open communication, transparency, and making sure residents understand what their Town government is doing and why.

Housing & Urban Development

In response to the recent tragedy, we are reminded of the profound impact that domestic violence has on individuals, families, and our entire community. This critical issue often goes unseen and unspoken, yet it affects countless lives. For those affected, please know that help is available.

The Town has been collaborating with the Somers Central School District to provide valuable information and resources to our residents. I have included details about local services, including confidential support, shelters, advocacy, counseling, therapy, and legal services.

Additionally, the local and state police departments and emergency responders are trained to assist anyone in immediate danger.

Domestic Violence Resources

Dear Residents,

Due to recent dry conditions and increased fire risk, we ask all residents to refrain from using outdoor fire pits, extinguishing cigarettes outside, fireworks, and anything that can cause a potential fire until further notice. Even contained fires can pose a significant threat in these conditions, and we must all work together to protect our community from potential fire hazards.

Please consider this a precautionary measure to ensure everyone’s safety.

Thank you for your cooperation and commitment to our town’s well-being.

“Thank you, Assemblyman Slater, for your tireless efforts in advocating for the protection of our communities’ water sources and local control over energy projects, we stand united in ensuring a better future for all New Yorkers,” said Carmel Supervisor Mike Cazzari.
“The town of Somers fully supports Assemblyman Matt Slater's letter to Governor Kathy Hochul regarding her administration's involvement in proposals to build energy storage systems in our communities in the Hudson Valley. These construction projects could have a negative impact on our groundwater supply, so it's crucial for local governments to have control.
We believe that the people in our communities and those in the lower Hudson Valley watershed are in the best position to make decisions about what's appropriate for our areas,” said Robert G. Scorrano, Somers town supervisor.

I’m running because I believe leadership starts with showing up: listening to families, seniors, business owners, and everyone in between. My goal is to spend time in all our neighborhoods, understand what people are experiencing day‑to‑day, and make sure the Town Board is responding to real needs. At the heart of my decision‑making are inclusion, accessibility, and respect. If you take the time to share your concerns, I will take the time to understand them and take action.”

CLIFFORD

Clifford, a retired human resources executive and former schoolteacher, has lived in Somers for 30 years.

She is chair of her condominium association in Heritage Hills, was a member of the Heritage Hills Society’s board, serves on the town’s Emergency Preparedness Committee, and is a member of the board of directors of the nonprofit CAI (Community Associations Institute) Hudson Valley.

Teresa Laura Clifford is a retired human resources executive who previously worked as a schoolteacher.

During the Jan. 6 meeting, Town Clerk Patricia Kalba read a letter submitted by Teresa Clifford, a resident of Heritage Hills, who questioned Scorrano’s appointment. “It is unprecedented to have a former supervisor act as deputy supervisor. Bill Harding left, and Mary Beth Murphy replaced him. Bill was not appointed deputy supervisor. When Rick became supervisor, Mary Beth did not become deputy supervisor. Tom Garrity became deputy supervisor with Rick. He has a great deal of experience and should remain deputy. We also have two excellent council members in Richard Clinchy and Anthony Cirieco. No need for Mr. Morrissey to be appointed deputy,” wrote Clifford, who unsuccessfully ran for town supervisor in 1997. As deputy supervisor, Morrissey will receive an annual stipend of $1,080.

Former Town Leaders Remain in Local Government Roles

Teresa previously ran for town supervisor in 1997, but did not win.

As of October 23, 2026, Teresa Laura Clifford did not have a website or any information online.
