On Tuesday, November 6, Andy Siegel is running for election to retain his seat on the Town of Tuxedo Board, on the slate with Town Supervisor Peter Dolan and Jean Ruffino. Andy was appointed by Supervisor Dolan to fill the seat vacated by Alyse McCathern in January 2007. Prior to serving on the Town Board, Andy served on the Architectural Review Board of the Town and prior to that he served as Secretary to the Planning Board/Board of Architectural Review for the Village. Andy is committed to representing the Village of Tuxedo Park as well as the entire Town of Tuxedo.

Four-term Board Councilman Francine Rauch will retire from Town politics at the end of her term which would leave Andy as the sole representative from the Village. Since the combination of Town, County and School taxes account for more than 2/3 of our tax bill, we feel that this representation is crucial.

We can count on Andy to continue the work begun by Alyse and Fran to protect the Town of Tuxedo from overdevelopment. Under their watch, the Tuxedo Reserve development was reduced from 3000+ units to under 1200 units.

Following is Andy’s biography. He brings a wealth of experience in municipal government and a high level of intelligence and commitment.
