A conversation with the Editorial Board

Endorsement interview schedule — updated

October
1

Here’s the latest interview schedule updated to reflect the Putnam and Rockland sessions.

Candidates in most contested elections for mayor, supervisor, council members and trustees in Westchester, Rockland and Putnam counties are invited to discuss the issues and their campaigns in endorsement interviews with Editorial Board. As in the past, these discussions will form the basis of news articles and serve as fodder for the Editorial Board’s recommendations. Because of the vast number of races — and the impossibility of crafting a schedule that meets everyone’s family, work and campaign needs — we appreciate efforts by candidates to make their scheduled interview hour. Look here for additional interview times and updates for Lower Hudson Valley races.
Contact us: If you are running for office on the November ballot, we want to hear from you. Please send your full name, home address, contact phone numbers and an active e-mail address to Brenda Ross, editorial assistant, at bross@lohud.com, with a copy to letters@lohud.com. In both the subject line and body of the e-mail, be sure to indicate what office you are vying for. The information will be used by our news and editorial staff to contact and correspond with candidates. Additionally, the e-mail address will be used to send candidates a questionnaire that will form the basis of an online guide for voters.
Watch online: Voters can watch our endorsement interviews LIVE online by going to Editorial Spotlight; use the live blogging feature to submit questions to the candidates. If you miss a session, watch it On Demand later; go to EditorialSpotlight, click “On Demand” and select the video from the list at the right.

The following interviews will be held at our White Plains office, 1 Gannett Drive; directions are online under Election Alert. Please advise Interactivity Editor Tracey Princiotta, at tprinciot@lohud.com, if you will attend a Westchester or Putnam session.
