Yorktown Supervisor Candidate Jann Mirchandani Qualifies for Independent Party Line and Earns High Profile Endorsements
The Democratic Candidate is also Running on the “Community First” Independent Line Despite Attempts by her Opponents to Silence the Voices of Independent Voters
YORKTOWN – Today, Jann Mirchandani is announcing that she has received the required number of signatures to appear on the independent “Community First” party line, in addition to the Democratic Party line, in the race for Yorktown Supervisor.
Her focus on being an independent voice dedicated to prioritizing fiscal responsibility, common sense housing development, and good governance is resonating with voters and community groups in Yorktown.
Jann’s opponents attempted to silence the voices of Yorktown’s independent voters by challenging her petitions and attempting to kick her off the ballot. Their challenges were dismissed by the Westchester BOE.
Additionally, Jann is announcing several endorsements for her campaign, including the Westchester Putnam Central Labor Body, an affiliate of AFL-CIO, as well as Eleanor’s Legacy, and Patriot PAC.
Jann, the founder of Westchester Marketing Cafe, has over a decade of experience in the financial industry, where she previously worked with international asset management companies. She also has 35 years of experience serving on nonprofit boards, helping organizations dedicated to youth leadership, education and business development. Currently, she is the Vice Board Chair of Operations of the Greater Hudson Valley Council for Boy Scouts of America, where she made history as the first female Council Commissioner, and is a member of the Hudson Valley Gateway Chamber of Commerce and the Business Council of Westchester.
Jann has lived in Yorktown for twenty years with her husband Rajesh. They have two adult children who both graduated from Yorktown High School.
Jann Mirchandani, Candidate for Yorktown Supervisor, said: “I am proud to announce that, thanks to our dedicated volunteers, I will be running on both the Democratic party line and the Community First party line, this November. This news, as well as the endorsements that we are rolling out today, demonstrate what we are feeling here on the ground; that people are ready for new, independent leadership that will focus on good governance and always put the people of Yorktown first. I am grateful to those who have already come out in support of our campaign, including Eleanor’s Legacy, the Patriot PAC, and the Westchester Putnam Central Labor Body. I look forward to meeting with and earning the support of, more Yorktown residents over the next few months.”
