Tripodi to Seek Westchester County Legislator Seat
Republican Peter Tripodi to seek election in the district that includes portion of Briarcliff Manor.
Town of Ossining Councilman Peter Tripodi announced Monday he plans to challenge Catherine Borgia (D-Ossining), who represents District 9 in the Westchester County Legislature.
He stated, "We need less party politics and a more results-driven government. As the only elected Republican on the 5 member Ossining Town Board I have participated in bi-partisan government. I know the meaning of consensus-building, spirited and healthy debate, as well as meaningful solutions to get things done."
The Legislature's District 9 includes all or parts of Ossining, Croton-on-Hudson, Briarcliff Manor, Cortlandt and Peekskill.

Tripodi, a Republican, plans to officially announce his candidacy Saturday in front of the former Town of Ossining police station on North State Road.
"The announcement’s location alone symbolizes this campaign—bipartisan and sound government actions," he said in a statement. "The decision to sell that facility was made only after the exit of my opponent from the Town Board. This was a bipartisan solution that directly benefited the Town taxpayers."
