Two mayor seats and eight trustee seats in villages across the Roslyn area will be up for grabs on Election Day, Tuesday, March 16.

Notably absent from the list are the villages of North Hills and Roslyn Harbor, which will not hold elections this year.

Challengers will be able to file petitions for candidacy in village elections by the end of the day on Tuesday, Feb. 9.

ROSLYN ESTATES

Mayor Paul Leone Peters and Trustees Brett Auerbach are up for two-year terms, while Trustee Georgann Polatov will not seek re-election. No challengers have been named yet.

ROSLYN

Mayor John Durkin is up for re-election, as are Trustees Marta Genovese and Sarah Oral. All three are seeking two-year terms. No challengers have been named yet.

OLD WESTBURY

No members of the Board of Trustees will be voted on, but Village Justice Susan J. Schmidt-Chorost is up for another four-year term. No challengers have been named yet.

FLOWER HILL 

Trustees Frank Genese, seeking a third term, and Mary Jo Collins, seeking a first full term after serving the rest of Mayor Brian Herrington’s term as a trustee, will run for re-election to their two-year seats. Trustee Claire Dorfman, who was appointed last November after the late Mayor Robert McNamara was elected a trustee, is seeking another one-year term. No challengers have been named yet.

Notably not seeking re-election is two-term Trustee Jay Beber. A resident of the village’s Roslyn area, he has served in his seat for four years. Efforts to reach him for comment  were unavailing.
