Brigid T. Brennan for Larchmont Village Mayor, New York (2026)

Mayor Bauer called an “emergency” Board of Trustees meeting moments after the polls closed asking the Board to convene at 11 AM this morning (Wednesday, June 24.) At that meeting Bauer tendered her immediate resignation. The Board then unanimously appointed Ms. Brennan as the new Mayor to fill the rest of Bauer’s term which expires in December.

Housing & Urban Development

Public Safety

Plans to carry out a multiyear plan to improve roads and sidewalks.

Wants more communication and transparency about government activity, including ongoing road-paving projects.

She also noted that one of her goals for the upcoming election is to move from bronze to silver status in the Climate Smart program which would open up even more grant opportunities for the community. Along with increasing transparency between the government and the community, Brennan said, “I would like to have more communication and transparency in what is happening, so everybody can see what the government is doing.” One way Brennan is trying to accomplish this is by creating a software platform that would allow members of the community to be updated on the ongoing road paving projects to see what and when things will occur in order to be more informed.
