“I have had the pleasure of knowing Tripp for over two decades and I can confidently say that he is one of the most honest, talented and intelligent individuals I’ve met.

“I have had the privilege of knowing and working with Tripp Welch for more than a decade. I have spent countless hours with him at work but have also gotten to know Tripp and his family on a personal level. Despite his significant accomplishments, Tripp is always quick to deflect praise, always ensuring that others received the credit. During nights and weekends, he can be found volunteering his time in the community. One year, there was a shortage of coaches and he stepped in to coach our youngest daughter’s team…..and he didn’t even have a child playing on that team! Regardless where he is, his approach is consistent and unwavering. He inspires with Values, galvanizes teams, builds consensus, innovates, executes and remains staunchly loyal and true to the organizational mission. Working with – and for – Tripp Welch is a rewarding experience! He lives his life with great intention and purpose, and he has made me a better person simply by modeling the right way to approach work and life. He will be an outstanding City Council member….and the city of Rochester will benefit from his leadership!” - Ken Ackerman, Tripp’s Colleague

Christopher Davis
“As a Ward 2 business owner, Tripp and I often discuss the transformation of 2nd street and its corresponding increase of traffic and congestion with the City’s street improvements and additional bike lanes. Tripp is consistently pragmatic to the City’s expansion and is an advocate for its improvements while maintaining a clear on eye on maintaining and improving our existing community neighborhoods. I could not be a greater advocate of this approach and fully endorse Tripp Welch for City Council Ward 2.” ~ Christopher Davis, Ward 2 Business Owner
