The villages of Roslyn and Roslyn Estates will hold their elections for Mayor, Trustees, and Justices on Tuesday, March 18. There are no challengers to the numerous incumbents, with only Roslyn Estates’ Mayor and Justice positions opening up.
In Roslyn Village, voters can cast their ballots for Mayor and two trustee positions at Village Hall at 1200 Old Northern Boulevard between noon and 9 p.m.. Incumbent Mayor John Durking is running for reelection, and running for the two trustee positions are incumbents Marta Genovese and Sarah Oral.
The terms for each position are two years in length.
In Flower Hill, Trustees Mary Jo Collins, Max Frankel, and Frank Genese will be running for reelection for two-year terms. Residents can vote at Village Hall, 1 Bonnie Heights Road, between 7 a.m. and 9 p.m..
Genese, who has been on the board for nine years and also serves as Deputy Mayor, said he will continue to focus on improving the quality of life for Flower Hill residents.
“We will be greatly enhancing our landscape program, increasing our attention to public safety, and augmenting our highway department with more modern and safe equipment,” Genese said.
“It has been an honor to serve, and I hope to continue working hard through my next term.”
Collins said she’s running for reelection to give back to the community she calls home and continue her work as co-chair of the village’s Beautification Committee.
In Roslyn Estates, Mayor Paul Leone Peters is retiring after serving as Mayor for eight years. Attorney, and Roslyn Estates Associate Justice Adam Koblenz is running for the open position unopposed.
Koblenz said he wants to be a mayor with whom neighbors can have a cup of coffee on a Saturday and that he’d be transparent while addressing issues like tax policy and safety.
Roslyn Estates voters can go to the polls at Village Hall at 25 The Tulips on Tuesday, March 18, from noon to 9 p.m.
Trustees Brett Auerbach and Susan Rubinstein are seeking re-election in Roslyn Estates for two-year terms. Charles Silverstein is also running for village justice. Auerbach said in his time as trustee, he’s helped keep village taxes low while updating infrastructure around the village.
“I am running again because I believe my experience and understanding of how small village governments operate, as well as my extensive experience in the Real Estate Development world, can help guide us to even greater successes,” Auerbach said.
Rubinstein said she’s past the learning curve of governing and is excited about the chance of serving her community for another two years.
“I am running again because I believe my experience and understanding of how small village governments operate as well as my extensive experience in the Real Estate Development world can help guide us to even greater successes,” Rubinstein said.
