In late September, Livable Tarrytowns emailed several questions to all the candidates running for office in Sleepy and Tarrytown regarding their positions on matters relating to safe streets, housing, and general livability. (Elections in both villages will take place on Tuesday, November 4.)
We asked the candidates to respond by October 14, 2025. We also promised to post their responses so that our readers could be better informed about where each candidate stands on matters central to Livable Tarrytowns’ mission and work.
To view the responses of a candidate, please click on their name underneath their photo.
Sleepy Hollow
For the Village of Sleepy Hollow elections, there are two slates of candidates–the Sleepy Hollow Democrats and Unite Sleepy Hollow. The slates are competing for three seats on the Board of Trustees (BoT) and the position of mayor.
Two of the four Sleepy Hollow Democrats running for the Board of Trustees, Cory Krall and Jared Rodriguez, responded to our questionnaire. (Jared Rodriguez also directed us to his letter to the editor in the River Journal that discusses his vision for Sleepy Hollow’s public spaces.)
We received no responses from any of the Unite Sleepy Hollow candidates.
If and when any of them do respond, we will post the response. (The same applies for any yet-to-be-received responses from the Sleepy Hollow Democrats.)
Tarrytown
All of the Tarrytown candidates are running unopposed. Three are running for reelection to the Board of Trustees and one is running for reelection to the position of mayor.
As with the Sleepy Hollow candidates, we will post any outstanding responses after receiving them.
Two of the three individuals running for the Board of Trustees, David Kim and Becky McGovern, have responded to our questionnaire.
The mayoral candidate, Karen Brown, did not directly respond to the questionnaire. So, we have instead published an email she sent us. It lists things accomplished by the Board of Trustees during her current tenure as mayor.
