Letter to the Community About Upcoming Election From Candidates Marvin, Underhill and Fredericks
Mar. 3, 2021
Dear Fellow Villager,
The annual election for Village offices will be held on March 16, 2021. The candidates are Mary Marvin (running unopposed for re-election as Mayor) and Bob Underhill and Bill Fredericks (running unopposed for re-election as Trustees).
For us, although we are running under different party lines, this election provides an opportunity for us to re-affirm our shared commitment to stewardship and service to the Village, despite on occasion having differences on national level issues. We always try to listen to each other’s – and our constituents’ – views, and we pledge to continue in that spirit going forward. Like our two fellow Trustees, Helen Knapp and Mary Behrens (who are not up for re-election this year), we are committed to doing our very best for the Village – a place that we each feel so fortunate to call home. We are all here to serve you, whether by building upon past successes or identifying areas of improvement.
We do hope that you will come out to vote; it is important that all residents engage in the local government. You can click here for information about how to apply for a “no excuse required” absentee ballot, as well as information about when and where you can vote in the Village in person on March 16.
We expect that additional information about our respective backgrounds will be available on www.myhometownbronxville.com in the days before election. Each of us hopes that you will vote and that in any event, you will not hesitate to contact any of the Village’s Trustees going forward.
Mary Marvin Bob Underhill Bill Fredericks

Government & History Directory
Bronxville is a quaint village (one square mile) located just 16 miles north of midtown Manhattan (roughly 30 minutes on the train) and has a population of approximately 6,500. It is known as a premier community with an excellent public school (K-12) and easy access to Manhattan. Bronxville offers many amenities including an attractive business district, a hospital (Lawrence Hospital), public paddle and tennis courts, fine dining at local restaurants, two private country clubs and a community library.
While the earliest settlers of Bronxville date back to the first half of the 18th century, the history of the modern suburb of Bronxville began in 1890 when William Van Duzer Lawrence purchased a farm and commissioned the architect, William A. Bates, to design a planned community of houses for well-known artists and professionals that became a thriving art colony. This community, now called Lawrence Park, is listed on the National register of Historic Places and many of the homes still have artists’ studios. A neighborhood association within Lawrence Park called “The Hilltop Association” keeps this heritage alive with art shows and other events for neighbors.
Bronxville offers many charming neighborhoods as well as a variety of living options for residents including single family homes, town houses, cooperatives and condominiums. One of the chief benefits of living in “the village” is that your children can attend the Bronxville School.
The Bronxville postal zone (10708, known as “Bronxville PO”) includes the village of Bronxville as well as the Chester Heights section of Eastchester, parts of Tuckahoe and the Lawrence Park West, Cedar Knolls, Armour Villa and Longvale sections of Yonkers. Many of these areas have their own distinct character. For instance, the Armour Villa section has many historic homes and even has its own newsletter called “The Villa Voice” which reports on neighborhood news.
