The Village of Mamaroneck Democratic Committee is pleased to announce the endorsement of three candidates to run for Trustee in the November 8th Village of Mamaroneck election:
● Richard Litman is a governmental professional. He began his career as a Junior Planner with New York City’s housing and development agency, served as an Assistant to the Bronx Borough President, later becoming a Deputy Commissioner of New York City’s Human Resources Administration (HRA). He has been an adjunct lecturer of urban studies and state and local government at Marymount Manhattan College, the College of New Rochelle and most recently at LaGuardia Community College. Since moving to Mamaroneck over ten years ago, he has served on the Village Planning Board and as President of the Hawthorne Gardens co-op.
● Dan Natchez is a lifelong resident of the Village of Mamaroneck who has served as Trustee since 2018. He was an author of the Local Waterfront Revitalization Program, and was President of the Shore Acres Property Owners Association. He is President of Daniel S. Natchez and Associates, an award winning International Environmental Waterfront Design and Consulting organization.
● Andrew Spatz is a third generation Village of Mamaroneck resident who maintains his own solo general law practice law firm here in the Village and has deep volunteer experience. He currently serves on, and co-founded, two active Village committees: the Mamaroneck Village Flood Mitigation Advisory Committee and the Mamaroneck Village Industrial Area Committee, of which he is a co-chair. Andrew has previously worked on the Board of Architectural Review and as Vice-President of the Orienta Point Association, where he remains a member. His involvement extends beyond the Village into our neighboring communities; he is a longtime Arbitrator for the New Rochelle City Court, Small Claims Calendar and Lead Counsel for the New Rochelle City Drug Court Program.
Andrew is the father of two boys attending school here in Mamaroneck and is extremely active with the local recreation sports programs as coach and commissioner of the soccer league.
“The Committee is grateful for the especially strong interest in the open seats this year,” said Gretta Heaney, Chair of the Democratic Committee. “Our endorsed candidates have the qualifications and breadth of experience to lead our Village and encourage more residents to participate in local government. They are tenacious, effective advocates who will generate creative solutions to some of our Village’s most pressing issues, especially related to flood mitigation and affordable housing.”
“Responding to the Village's most pressing challenges requires leaders who are ready on day one,” said Nora Lucas, a sitting Village of Mamaroneck Trustee. “Andrew, Dan and Richard each bring many years of experience, both professional and volunteer, to the position of Village Trustee. They are also avid listeners who hear and respect everyone in our community. I’m looking forward to working with this slate endorsed by the Democratic party.”
