Call for 2026 Village Candidates

​

This is to announce that two Trustee seats on the Village of Hastings-on-Hudson Board of Trustees will be up for election in 2026.
 
Incumbent Trustees Morgen Fleisig and Samantha Merton have expressed their interest in running for re-election next year. Before making our endorsement decisions, the Hastings Democratic Committee will consider Trustees Fleisig and Merton and any other qualified parties who apply within our timeframe.
 
Village residents who wish to seek the Committee’s endorsement are asked to send a letter of introduction and résumé to hastingsdems10706@gmail.com by January 4. To learn about what the process entails, please see the Running for Village Office page on our website.

The function of our endorsement is to identify those 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 candidates’ designating petitions to sign and, in the case of a contest, by voting in the June Primary Election.

One seat for Democratic District Leader in Hastings is also currently vacant, which the Committee may fill by appointment. Interested individuals should send an introductory letter and résumé to hastingsdems10706@gmail.com.
 
The Hastings Democratic Committee strives to ensure a process that is fair to all candidates and informative to the community at large. To receive our updates, please subscribe to our email list here.

Chair, Hastings Democratic Committee​​
