SCARSDALE CITIZENS' NON-PARTISAN PARTY
CANDIDATE SELECTION PROCESS
Each year, the SCNPP supports only those candidates chosen by an independent and publicly elected 30-member CNC that represents a broad cross-section of Scarsdale residents and neighborhoods. Thereby, the SCNP removes agenda-driven politicking and instead supports candidates based on their volunteer service record, sound judgement, and the ability to represent all Scarsdale Residents on the many issues our community may face.
In January 2025 the Citizens Nominating Committee (CNC) announced that it has officially selected the following residents to be its nominees for elected office in the upcoming Village elections:
Village Mayor:
Justin Arest, a Scarsdale resident for 12 years, currently serving as Village Mayor.
Village Trustee:
-
David J. Goldschmidt, a Scarsdale resident for 22 years
-
Dara Gruenberg, a Scarsdale resident for 13 years, currently serving as Village Trustee and seeking a second term.
-
Jason Kofman, a Scarsdale resident for 12 years
The Village Election will take place on Tuesday, March 18, 2025 at Scarsdale Public Library, 54 Olmsted Road in the Scott Room. Voting hours will be from 6:00 a.m. to 9 p.m.
