Siegel Returns To Yorktown Town Board

YORKTOWN, NY — Susan Siegel took the oath of office on Wednesday to fill a vacancy on the Town Board.

Siegel—a Democrat, former Yorktown supervisor and councilwoman—won a July 23 special election to fill a Town Board vacancy precipitated by the sudden death of Supervisor Tom Diana in January.

"Susan's dedication to Yorktown is unparalleled," said Jann Mirchandani, Yorktown Democratic Committee Chair. "Her expertise and passion for improving our town tremendously adds to the Board. I congratulate Susan and look forward to partnering with her on initiatives that will benefit all Yorktown residents."

She takes the seat vacated by Ed Lachterman, who won a special election earlier this year to become Yorktown Supervisor. She will serve through Dec. 31, 2027.

“I’m looking forward to putting my knowledge and experience to work on behalf of Yorktown’s residents. My overriding goal will be to maximize openness and transparency across all aspects of Yorktown’s town government,” said Siegel.

Siegel is expected to take her seat on the Town Board at its regular meeting scheduled for 6:30 p.m.Thursday.

In addition to serving as Town supervisor from 2010 to 2011 and councilwoman in 2015, Siegel has been a regular attendee at Town Board and Planning Board meetings since 2012.
