EspañolROBERT DUFFY
:''For the footballer, see Robert Duffy (footballer)''
'Robert J. "Bob" Duffy' (born 21 August 1954) is the Democratic mayor of Rochester, New York. He was elected the 65th mayor of the city in November 2005 and took office on January 1, 2006. Prior to running for office, Duffy served as the city's police chief from 1998-2005. He was deputy chief from 1992 to 1998.
Duffy was born and raised in Rochester. He graduated from the Aquinas Institute and joined the Rochester Police Department in 1976. He earned a Bachelor's of Science degree in Criminal Justice from Rochester Institute of Technology in 1993, and a Master of Arts Degree in Public Administration from the Syracuse University Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs in 1998.
Duffy has a wife, Barbara, and two daughters Erin and Shannon.
Duffy retired as Chief to run in the Democratic Primary for Mayor in 2005. Duffy won the Democratic party primary in September 2005 and the general election in November 2005.
Duffy outspent all other general election opponents by almost 10 to 1, raising over $760,000 in his campaign as of the last December filing, including a last-minute pre-primary personal loan of $60,000 to his campaign. His fund raising set a new record for a Rochester Mayoral election.
During the opening months of his administration, Mayor Duffy closed down the fast ferry service across Lake Ontario between Toronto and Rochester. He also secured a substantial additional influx of state aid for city coffers, and launched a program to demolish vacant and derelict houses in city neighborhoods. He recently (on December 8, 2006) helped make an impromptu roadside arrest. Mayor Duffy sold the fast-ferry in April 2007 to a company in Germany for $30 million.
He is a member of the Mayors Against Illegal Guns Coalition[1], a bi-partisan group with a stated goal of "making the public safer by getting illegal guns off the streets." The Coalition is co-chaired by by Boston Mayor Thomas Menino and New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
