Results of Election for Open Seats on Bronxville Non-partisan Committee
By Wendy Halley, Chair, NPC
June 28, 2023: From June 6 through June 13, elections were held across the seven districts of the Village of Bronxville to fill nine open seats on the Bronxville Non-partisan Committee.
From June 15 through June 19, an additional tiebreaker voting round was held within District 17 to determine candidates for the two available seats in that district. Our deep gratitude goes to the many voters of District 17 who turned out in high numbers for both rounds, as well as to each of the candidates for persevering through this extended process.
The following candidates were elected:
District 16: One three-year seat: Paul Heathwood
District 17: One three-year seat: Matthew Christ; two-year seat: Michael Utell
District 18: One three-year seat: Katelin O'Rourke Gorman
District 19: One three-year seat: Tshering Amdo
District 20: One three-year seat: Jose Manuel Rodriguez
District 21: One three-year seat: Hugh Allan
District 22: One three-year seat: Jamie Abruzzo; one-year seat: Don Bringle
The NPC’s officers for the coming year will be:
Chair, Jim Cherundolo
Vice Chairs: Tatiana Castro-Taboas & Vincent McBride
Treasurer / Secretary: Simone Kane
The Bronxville Non-Partisan Committee (NPC) was formed in 1936 with the mission to assemble and vet potential nominees for the Bronxville School Board and ultimately nominate a slate of candidates to successfully serve the school.
The NPC has no affiliation with any political party and the process for nominating candidates is driven solely by the goal of finding the most qualified candidates for trustee in the community.
The NPC consists of 21 members with three elected representatives from each of Bronxville’s seven election districts, who serve for a three-year term.
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.
