Residents of the Town of West Bloomfield gathered in early 2025 seeking common ground as they looked toward their local election in November 2025. Julie Eveleigh and Birgit Coffey organized regular meetings where Republicans, Democrats and Independents turned out for educational presentations on how to run for office and learn more about the responsibilities of Town officials. The combined campaign of three first-time candidates of varying viewpoints on the Democratic ticket reflects this growing effort to bring residents together in service to the Town.
Julie Eveleigh, Candidate for West Bloomfield Town Board
Julie Eveleigh, Candidate for West Bloomfield Town Board
Julie Eveleigh is a candidate for a seat on the Town Board and a 27-year resident of Bloomfield. She currently represents the Town of West Bloomfield on the Ontario County Democratic Committee. Eveleigh and her husband Stephen have two children who graduated from Bloomfield Central School. Twenty-five years ago, Eveleigh sought approval from the Town of West Bloomfield when she began a small business out of her home which is still operating today. She is motivated to support others seeking to open a local business, and to be responsive to those with ideas about the needs of the town. Her goal is to play a role in “helping West Bloomfield continue to develop a strong sense of identity with an enhanced town center—a place that balances its rural charm with a forward-thinking vision.”

Julie is a counselor who has been assisting individuals, couples and families in the tri-county area for 25 years. She is also an avid bicyclist who takes daily rides through the West Bloomfield countryside in summer. She especially likes seeing neighbors, friends and scenery that remind her of the reasons she and her husband moved here from Monroe County so many years ago. Julie is also active in her church community and has been volunteering as co-director of the choir for the past 15 years. Though Julie's two adult children now live far from Bloomfield, they love to return to their cherished West Bloomfield roots. The only "child" who still lives at home with Julie and her husband Steve is their rescue dog, JJ.

Tim Schiefen, Town Supervisor candidate, is very well known and is appreciated for his numerous volunteer activities in West Bloomfield. He has a passion for working with young people to develop their sense of solving problems and developing personal strategies for dealing with challenge. Both of these skills are very much a part of being a town supervisor! While there is much to learn as a first- time Town Supervisor and member of the Ontario County Board of Supervisors, I am sure that Tim will meet the challenges with the same energy and knowledge that he has brought to his business and community work.
