Farewell to Larchmont Mayor Josh Mandell, Election Results In

Although his departure was expected, no one at last night's board meeting let Mayor Josh Mandell leave office without a proper goodbye.

As Mandell sheepishly looked on, elected officials including Village of Mamaroneck Mayor Norm Rosenblum, Town Supervisor Nancy Seligson, incoming mayor Anne McAndrews and Westchester County Legislator Judy Myers (D) all voiced their support of Mandell's time in office.  Mamaroneck Town Councilwoman Jaine Elkind Eney was also in attendance in the audience.

Despite his desire not to run for re-election, Mandell said being mayor was a wonderful experience, urging anyone that was considering public office to give him a call.

"It's much easier to become mayor than you might think," he said to laughter from the audience.

Results from the election were as follows: Democratic candidate Anne McAndrews was elected the new mayor of Larchmont with 101 votes; Peter Fanelli (D) was elected trustee with 102 votes and incumbent Marlene Kolbert (D) was re-elected trustee with 100 votes.  All candidates were running unopposed.  

All three elected officials will be sworn into office on April 2.
