MARC LEAF is a partner at the New York law firm Drinker Biddle & Reath and a member of the firm’s leadership team. From 2011 to 2014, Marc served as a senior legal and policy adviser to the Securities and Exchange Commission in Washington, D.C.  He is a trusted adviser to corporate boards and executive officers.

A Hastings native, Marc is in his first term on the Board of Trustees. He is proud of the Board’s work to improve the Uniontown baseball field, repave streets, and add much-needed sidewalks—all while keeping taxes as low as possible.

Previously, Marc served on the Zoning Board of Appeals. He has also been a long-time board member of Temple Beth Shalom and a member of the Southside Social and Athletic Club.

Marc is a graduate of Hastings High School, Harvard College, and Duke University School of Law. He has been married to Debra Oaks for 25 years. Marc’s five children live in five different states, but they all enjoy coming back to Hastings for its walkable paths and streets, timeless Hudson River views, and legendary bagels.

The purpose of the Hastings Democratic Committee is to fulfill its primary objective of electing qualified Democratic candidates to office. To further this purpose, we seek to elect competent and actively engaged persons to occupy our committee positions, to promote open discussion of issues relevant to our community, and to practice fair Democratic procedures in carrying out our committee functions. In each case — in keeping with Democratic ideals of fairness, inclusion and transparency — we aim to inspire, inform and enlist all interested local Democrats in our activities. In so doing, the Committee aims to engage in best practices to advance the platform of the Democratic Party.

Registered Hastings-on-Hudson Democrats are welcome to sign up for our emails to learn about upcoming meetings and other activities.

The Hastings Democratic Committee meets on the first Wednesday of every month at 8:00 p.m., unless posted  otherwise to our email list.
