(September 2, 2008) The Village of Mamaroneck Democratic Party is proud to announce its candidates for the fall election. Trustees Tom Murphy, Toni Pergola Ryan and John Hofstetter have agreed to run for re-election and active community member, Dan Gallagher, will run for Village Justice this November 4th.

Trustees Tom Murphy, John Hofstetter and Toni Pergola Ryan are running for re-election.

Trustee Murphy remarked, "I am excited to be on the ballot with such hard working and dedicated people as John, Toni and Dan."

Since 2006, when Tom, Toni and John were elected, Mamaroneck has enacted new laws to curb over-development and to protect the environment. Also important, this Board is restoring Mamaroneck's reputation.

Said Toni Ryan, "We have worked hard to change the tenor of Village Board meetings. We believe that civility and open dialogue have gone a long way to restoring peoples’ faith in their government."

The team has made much progress but there is still a great deal of work to be done, and many challenges lie ahead for Mamaroneck in the next two years. John Hofstetter explained, "As Village Trustees, we will continue to work hard to increase the efficiency of Village government and keep taxes down. Many important decisions are still to be made and we are a team that has been thoughtful and judicious in our approach to meeting the challenges that face our community."

Democrats are particularly pleased that Dan Gallagher has consented to be the judicial candidate. Mr. Gallagher will bring a fresh perspective to the Mamaroneck bench. Dan is an attorney with over 23 years of experience. He is a regular community volunteer whose activities include service as a member of the Harbor and Coastal Zone Management Commission, Chairman of the Rye Neck PTSA Safety Committee and coach for Mamaroneck Junior Soccer League, Larchmont-Mamaroneck Little League baseball and Larchmont-Mamaroneck Basketball Association teams.

“Mamaroneck is a wonderfully vibrant community,” observed Dan. “My wife, Gretta, and I are really happy to be raising our children in the Village and I am eager for the opportunity to serve as Village Justice. I would bring integrity, experience and common sense to all matters that come before the Court.”

Election Day is Tuesday, November 4th.
