9 Rockland Villages Hold Spring Elections March 19
Here's who's running for what.

In Rockland County, nine villages have spring elections. Most candidates are running unopposed, but in two villages, elections are very hotly contested.
Airmont is still a contested election even though the Preserve Airmont slate withdrew amid allegations that their ballot petitions included invalid signatures. Pomona is still contested though one mayoral candidate and two incumbent trustees were removed from that ballot after their petitions were challenged.
Administrations in both have been accused of anti-Semitism by the Orthodox Jewish community.
