CNC Searches for Candidates for Village Board and Mayor

The Citizens Nominating Committee ("CNC") is currently searching for potential candidates to run on the Scarsdale Citizens' Non-Partisan Party slate for the office of Scarsdale Village Mayor and three opening Village Trustee positions. Deadline for submitting your name to the CNC is Friday January 13th 2017. The General Village Election is on Tuesday, March 21, 2017.

According to Lena Crandall, Chair of CNC (a non-voting position), "The CNC conducts a non-issue based review of potential candidates for office. The cornerstone tenet of Scarsdale's hundred-year nonpartisan tradition is that a candidate's general abilities and character - not their personal position on any Village issue – are held paramount to all other considerations. The objective is to find the best possible individuals to serve the Village no matter what issues the future may bring."

The CNC is a group of 30 elected representatives (6 from each neighborhood) tasked with reaching-out within the Scarsdale community to encourage residents who are ready, willing, and able to volunteer their service as one of three new Trustees or as Mayor of the Village.

CNC representatives are available to answer questions and help candidates through the non-partisan process, which involves the completion of a biographical sketch and a brief presentation. The names of those who come before the CNC are kept confidential to encourage as many qualified individuals as possible to come forward.

If you (or anyone you know) would make a great Mayor or Village Trustee, please contact any member of the CNC listed below. Candidates must be U.S. citizens over the age of 18 and residents of the Village of Scarsdale.
