Call for 2025 Hastings Village Candidates

This is to announce that three seats will be up for election in Hastings-on-Hudson in 2025 — those of Mayor and two Village Trustees. 
 
After nearly 17 years on the Village Board, Mayor Niki Armacost will not be seeking reelection, and we thank her greatly for her dedication and service to the Village. Trustee Thomas Drake and Trustee Morgen Fleisig have expressed their interest in running for the office of Mayor on the Democratic line. (This would vacate only the seat held by Trustee Drake, given the staggering of terms.) Trustee Douglass Alligood will seek reelection to a second term in his current seat.
 
Any Village resident interested in being considered for the Hastings Democratic Committee’s endorsement for Mayor or Trustee is requested to send a letter of introduction and résumé to hastingsdems10706@gmail.com by January 5. To learn about what our process entails, see the Running for Village Office page on our website.
 
The function of the Committee’s endorsement is to identify the candidates for whom our members will carry designating petitions, as well as to indicate our candidate preferences to the community. The Committee’s endorsement does not determine which candidates ultimately run for office or receive the Democratic Party ballot line in the general election. The registered Democratic voters of Hastings-on-Hudson decide that, by choosing which designating petitions to sign and, in the case of a contest, by voting in the June Primary Election.
 
Two seats for Democratic District Leader in Hastings are also currently vacant, which the Committee may fill by appointment. Interested individuals should send an introductory letter and résumé to hastingsdems10706@gmail.com.
 
This Committee seeks to ensure a process that is fair to all candidates and informative for the community at large. To receive our updates, please subscribe to our email list here.

Chair, Hastings Democratic Committee​
