A near-lifelong town resident, Jesse grew up in Greenwood Lake, where he lives today with his wife, Colleen, and their two children, Emma and Joseph, both attending local schools. A Pace University graduate (magna cum laude, Political Science and Business Administration), today he owns and operates a 2nd-generation medical practice management company in town. He is a founding partner in a political strategy consulting firm – also based in Warwick – with successful clients ranging all the way up through the local, county, state and federal levels, many of them proudly counting the people of Warwick among their constituents.

In 2013, after a two-year term on the Village Board as a Trustee, Jesse took office as the youngest elected Mayor in Greenwood Lake history. He spent the ensuing decade serving his fellow Lakers, who returned him uncontested to the Mayor’s Office four more times. During his time in office, Mayor Dwyer spearheaded a long line of initiatives that kept taxes low, reduced the general operating budget debt by roughly 90 percent, inaugurated three new public parks, saved the Village tens of thousands of dollars annually with new green initiatives, secured more than $5 million in grants for at least a dozen different sectors of Village services and much more (see further details here).
