The Larchmont Democratic Caucus announced their nominations today for the March 20 election.
Update: 4 p.m. - Mandell said that he decided not to run again, in part, because he never felt like a "natural mayor." "I have never been a very gregarious person. People who knew me for a long time were quite surprised, in fact, when they learned of my candidacy just a couple of years ago," he said in a statement to the press. Mandell went on to say that although he never felt like he would be mayor for the long-term, he did feel that he could benefit the village with his business and financial expertise during a difficult economic period during 2009-10. "The budget for 2012-2013 is shaping up in much the same way … in fact, even better. We will have no problem whatsoever meeting the challenges of the tax cap legislation this year or …

Almost a month after they were reelected, Village of Mamaroneck Mayor Norm Rosenblum and Deputy Mayor Lou Santoro were sworn in at the Emelin Theatre by former village justice Roger Sirlin.

With 82 percent of the districts reporting, Judy Myers and David Gelfarb have apparently won their races for County Legislator.
It was still early Tuesday night at Morgan's Fish House in Rye. No poll numbers were available yet and the room filled with the Democratic candidates for Rye City Council, their friends and families hummed with nervous energy. Incumbent Judy Myers was also there, talking with supporters before setting out for stops in Mamaroneck and New Rochelle later in the evening. For just a moment, Myers was pensive about the race in District 7. "This has been the culmination of a lot of work over a lot of months," she said. Myers marveled just for a moment. "We've been at this since the primaries in August." The only thing left was the waiting. Myers seemed almost relieved election day had finally come. Now it was up to the voters. Rye City …
According to unofficial results, Norm Rosenblum has been re-elected as Mayor of the Village of Mamaroneck. Louis Santoro has also been re-elected as a village board member.

The Democratic party members gathered at Roasted Peppers on Mamaroneck Avenue to watch the polls tonight.
