Larchmont Democrats Announce New Leadership

Press Release

( December 6, 2002)The Larchmont Village Democratic Committee proudly announces the naming of its dynamic new leadership team. Carol Miller and Dorothea Constas have taken up the reins of party leadership as Co-Chairs of the Larchmont Village Democrats. Their combined skills, energy and enthusiasm have already set the Democrats on the road to capturing the support of Larchmont voters and regaining a majority on the Village Board of Trustees.

Both of the new Co-Chairs bring to their positions long involvement in the community and extensive experience in local politics, having previously worked together to coordinate a highly successful local election campaign. Carol Miller, an attorney specializing in corporate law and litigation, has lived in the Village for more than 17 years. Her vision for the Larchmont Democrats is focused upon improving the accessibility and accountability of local government to all members of the community, and promoting increased grass roots involvement in local affairs. She has been an active volunteer in local school PTAs, member of the Village Recreation Committee, and member of the Mamaroneck School Board Selection Committee. Married to Richard Levy, also a lawyer, Ms. Miller has two children who attend the Mamaroneck public schools.

Long active in political and community affairs, Dorothea Constas recently changed her political party registration from independent to Democrat in order to take on her new role as Co-Chair. Constas says that she was inspired to do so because she believes that the strength of the Larchmont Democratic Party is its commitment to represent the entire Village. A resident of Larchmont for eight years, Constas has become a valued member of the community, serving as school budget committee co-chair, soccer coach, and as a frequent volunteer in school and local community organizations. Ms. Constas is a public interest attorney and an adjunct professor at New York Law School. She and her husband, Jay Rubin, have two children.

"Marlene Kolbert is the sole Democrat holding elective office in the Village of Larchmont. Our community is extraordinarily fortunate to have a person of her considerable experience and dedication serving the public," Miller says. "We look forward to the upcoming election, when we expect to elect two more Democrats to the Village Board."

Fran Snedeker, Party Chair for the past four years, continues as Vice-Chair of the Larchmont Village Democratic Committee.
