Citizens Nominating Committee Calls for Candidates

The Citizens Nominating Committee (“CNC”) is currently searching for potential candidates to run for the position of Mayor and three opening Village Trustee positions. Names of potential candidates should be submitted to the CNC by Friday, December 7, 2018. The General Village Election is on Tuesday, March 19, 2019.

According to Jon Mark, Chair of CNC (a non-voting position) “The CNC conducts a confidential and 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 our Village community to encourage residents who are ready, willing, and able to volunteer their service as one of three new Trustees.

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 on the attachment. Candidates must be U.S. citizens over the age of 21 and residents of the Village of Scarsdale.
