Brooklyn roots. Hands-on experience. Service to community.

Ronald Seifert is a lifelong Brooklyn resident, father of two, local business owner, and Republican candidate for New York State Senate District 21.

Ronald was raised by two hardworking parents: his father was a cab driver, and his mother was a seamstress. His father served in the U.S. Army, and members of his extended family served in the U.S. Marine Corps.

A product of New York City public schools, he attended P.S. 236 Mill Basin, J.H.S. 078 Roy H. Mann, and South Shore High School before graduating from Kingsborough Community College.

Working lifeSmall business, transportation, logistics, and city service

For 18 years, Ronald has owned and operated an NYC-licensed home contracting business. His earlier working life included owning an auto repair and installation shop, working in transportation operations at Atlantic Express, handling logistics for DHL at JFK, and serving New York City through the Department of Citywide Administrative Services. More recently, he volunteered with a local team during a Republican mayoral campaign.

As a longtime member of the Knights of Columbus, Ronald has helped collect and serve food, organize clothing drives, support school scholarships, raise donations for a local Catholic church, and take part in interfaith service bringing Catholic and Jewish neighbors together.

He is running to provide practical, common-sense representation for every resident—Republicans, Democrats, Conservatives, and independent voters alike.
