Leon, Chervokas, DeNicola: Greenburgh Needs McGoey's Experience and Leadership

Letter to The Rivertowns Dispatch | Jay Leon, Leslie Chervokas, and Christopher DeNicola | 6/19/26

To the Editor:

We proudly support endorsed Democratic candidate Barry McGoey for Greenburgh town supervisor. At a time when our Town government faces serious challenges, it is essential that voters support him in the primary election on Tuesday, June 23. Early voting began June 13 and continues through Sunday, June 21. Voters may cast their ballots early at the Hastings Library, Greenburgh Town Hall, or any designated early voting site across Westchester County. For locations and details, visit https://citizenparticipation.westchestercountyny.gov/voting/early-voting-2026. On primary day, voting will take place at your usual polling location.

Barry brings the experience and leadership needed to move our Town forward and address ongoing financial mismanagement. As a current village trustee in Ardsley, he has direct experience with municipal oversight and administration and collaborating with leaders across village, town, and county governments. He understands how to coordinate effectively to serve residents. In addition, his background as an attorney and former auditor gives him a strong grasp of the legal and financial complexities facing the Town. His experience as a union negotiator also demonstrates his ability to achieve practical, consensus-driven solutions.

He supports term limits, including for his own office, and is committed to advancing a needs-based affordable housing strategy specific to Greenburgh, protecting the environment, maintaining infrastructure responsibly, supporting young people, and expanding opportunities so that residents of all parts of the town share in its prosperity. He will bring energy, a fresh perspective, a strong work ethic, and a collaborative approach to the role — helping to restore effectiveness and trust in Town government.

Please join us in voting for Barry McGoey in this important election.
