YORKTOWN, NY — The Yorktown Democratic Committee today announced its unanimous endorsement of Jann Mirchandani as its candidate for Yorktown Supervisor in 2026. The endorsement reflects the committee’s confidence in Mirchandani’s proven leadership, deep roots in the community, and her commitment to bringing steady, transparent governance to Yorktown.
Mirchandani, a 20-year Yorktown resident, small business owner, and mother whose children attended Yorktown schools, has spent her career building the skills that the Town Supervisor’s office demands: 10 years in the financial services industry, 25 years running her own business in Yorktown, and 35 years of nonprofit board leadership overseeing multi-million dollar budgets.
“Jann is exactly the kind of leader Yorktown needs right now,” said the Yorktown Democratic Committee in a statement. “She doesn’t just talk about bringing people together—she has a proven track record of doing it. Her ability to build consensus is not theoretical; she recently led a task force that closed a $640,000 budget gap by bringing together all stakeholders to find solutions everyone could support.”
A Platform of Accountability and Smart Planning
Mirchandani’s campaign is centered on ensuring that developers are held to the same standards as residents. She has pledged to fight overdevelopment that benefits a handful of developers at the expense of the broader community, and to ensure that developers pay their fair share for the traffic and infrastructure impacts their projects create—rather than passing those costs on to taxpayers.
Mirchandani had also pledged to end what she calls “budget whiplash”—the pattern of reactive budgeting that saw Yorktown raise taxes 7% in 2025 followed by a budget freeze in 2026. With $24 million sitting in excess funds while the town creates this kind of budget volatility, Mirchandani argues that Yorktown deserves better.
Dedication and Commitment
Mirchandani’s decision to run for Supervisor for a fourth time underscores a deep and unwavering commitment to the community she calls home. “There is work to do in Yorktown,” Mirchandani said. “I’m not a politician—I’m your neighbor. And I’m the person who won’t give up because I know what this town can be when we have leadership that plans, that governs, and that puts your family’s budget ahead of developer profits.”
The Yorktown Democratic Committee expressed full confidence in Mirchandani’s candidacy. “Jann’s persistence is her strength. She keeps showing up because she believes in this community, and we believe in her. Yorktown is ready for the kind of thoughtful, experienced, consensus-driven leadership that Jann will bring to Town Hall.”
