Town Elections
This upcoming June (pending Covid) there will be a Primary election for Town Board (2 seats), Town Supervisor, and Town Clerk among other positions. I want to take a moment to let my readers know that I will not be running for Town Board in the upcoming Primary. I thank those of you who have reached out to encourage me to run, but right now after much consideration, I will not be pursuing a seat on the Town Board. I plan to continue to remain active in the community, attending Town Board meetings, continuing my newsletter and serving as President of Hartsdale Neighbors Association. Incumbent Francis Sheehan has announced his intention to run for another 4 year term while Diana Juettner has announced she is retiring and will not be seeking re-election. Ellen Hendrickx of Hastings is currently the only other candidate who has declared their intention to run and unless there is another candidate, the election will be uncontested.
The Town Supervisor position is also up for a 2 year term and this will be a contested election with Tasha Young declaring her intention to challenge longtime incumbent Paul Feiner. As of now I am not aware of any candidates who will be challenging Judith Beville for a 2 year term as Town Clerk.
Look forward to more detailed profiles on the candidates in the months to come.
