5ds agoLongtime Greenburgh Town Supervisor Paul Feiner will face a primary challenge this year from Tasha
Young, an advocate, educator and social worker looking to make history as the
town’s first African American and female town supervisor.
Young is currently the
chief of staff to the New York City Council Majority Leader Laurie A. Cumbo.
"My race and my
gender are who I am. And then my experience is a compliment to what I would do
as town supervisor. So I think that is a winning combination,” she told News 12.
Young says if elected,
she would work to make Greenburgh’s government more inclusive and transparent.
Feiner is vying for
his 16th two-year term in office. He says he welcomes the challenge.
“I'm pleased that
there is a contested election. That's what democracy is all about," he
said.
Feiner added that
while there is always room for improvement, he believes overall the town is
doing a great job.
"We have a AAA bond rating. We had zero tax increases the last two
years…during the snowstorm very few complaints,” he said.
The primary will be
held this June.
