Meet Eugene

Eugene Bondar and his wife, Michelle, are raising their two children in New City.

Incumbent George Hoehmann to take on Democratic challenger Eugene Bondar in Clarkstown supervisor rematch

Eugene previously ran for Clarkstown supervisor in 2025 but did not win.

A full independent forensic audit — so residents finally see the town’s true fiscal condition.
Cut wasteful spending, reduce borrowing, and eliminate every patronage job handed out as a political favor.
Chase state and federal grants and developer contributions before ever reaching into residents’ pockets.

The Bondar Blueprint

The first phase of Bondar’s plan is a strategic pause on new major development applications. This temporary moratorium will provide the time needed to comprehensively update Clarkstown’s zoning code to explicitly require developers, not taxpayers, to fund the full cost of the infrastructure improvements their projects demand. This includes necessary upgrades to roads, sewers, sidewalks, and traffic control systems.

Bondar Unveils “Clarkstown First” Plan to Overhaul Development, Mandate Union Labor, and Protect Taxpayers

PILLAR TWO: PROJECT LABOR AGREEMENTS FOR TAX-SUBSIDIZED PROJECTS

The second pillar of the “Clarkstown First” plan directly addresses the use of public tax incentives. Bondar committed to using the full influence of the Town Supervisor’s office to demand that the Rockland County Industrial Development Agency (IDA) make Project Labor Agreements a mandatory condition for any developer seeking tax breaks in Clarkstown.

Chase state and federal grants and developer contributions before ever reaching into residents’ pockets.
Cut red tape for Clarkstown’s small businesses — faster permits, simpler processes, and a Town Hall that treats local business as a partner, not a problem.

PROPOSED CHAPTER 135
HOME IMPROVEMENT CONTRACTOR REGISTRY

Protects homeowners from bad contractors: a $50,000 surety bond, deposit caps with escrow, a 3-day right to cancel, a restitution fund financed by contractors — not taxpayers — and a public searchable registry.

BUILT TO SURVIVE A CHALLENGE
No town-run violations tribunal. Cases go to Justice Court and Supreme Court.

No warrantless inspection as the price of a registration. Inspections require consent or a warrant, written into the text of the law, with a licensed engineer’s or architect’s certification available for routine renewals of units the Town has already inspected.

Renter Safety & Landlord Accountability Act

PROPOSED LOCAL LAW · 2027
ZONING MORATORIUM

A 12-month pause on Hamlet Center development approvals while the town completes the supplemental environmental review, cumulative traffic study, impact-fee framework, and housing needs assessment it skipped.

Candidate for Supervisor calls the proposal “illegal spot zoning” that would break the Town’s promise to protect its great open spaces.

Eugene Bondar, candidate for Clarkstown Supervisor, today made a statement for the record in firm opposition to the proposed application to rezone the Paramount Country Club property from R-160 to R-22, calling on the Town Board to reject what he described as “a direct assault on the foundational principles of land use planning in Clarkstown.”

Bondar Demands Town Board Vote No on Paramount Country Club Rezoning

RENTER SAFETY & LANDLORD ACCOUNTABILITY ACT

An amendment to the Town’s rental registry (Chapter 157) that requires every LLC, corporation, or trust that owns a rental to identify its real owners under oath and name one person who answers personally; makes a valid registration a condition of collecting rent, with tenants able to recover what they paid on an unregistered unit; adds an entity fine tier of up to $100,000 and fines measured by the landlord’s gain; and holds owners responsible for illegal sublets.

Proposes requiring consent or a warrant for rental inspections while allowing professional certifications for certain routine registration renewals.

FULLY FUND LAW ENFORCEMENT

Public safety should never be a bargaining chip in a budget fight. Eugene will guarantee full funding for staffing, training, and equipment — so your family’s safety doesn’t depend on who’s in office.

What it means for you: Coverage and response times that hold steady no matter who wins an election.

A Code Enforcement Task Force with Rockland County Health, CPS, and the District Attorney’s office.
Maximum penalties, court injunctions, and no settlements that let violators keep the profits — wrongdoers go to trial.
Condemnation of properties that are unsafe or uninhabitable.

THE CODE-VIOLATION BACKLOG IS REVIEWED AND INSPECTIONS BEGIN.

Every open code complaint is reviewed, and code enforcement officers are ordered to begin aggressive inspections and enforcement action on existing violations, with maximum penalties and court injunctions where warranted, so that ignoring the code stops being cheaper than following it.

The Bondar Blueprint: The First 100 Days

Pledges full funding for law-enforcement staffing, training, and equipment.

Clarkstown should make that decision before an application lands, not during one. This proposed local law amends Chapter 290 to define data centers and cryptocurrency mining facilities and prohibit them in every zoning district in town.

In 2014, a groundbreaking, large-scale solar field proposed by George was opened on a landfill in West Nyack.

This 13-acre site now contains over 8,000 solar panels creating green energy which will result in a long-term savings of over $4,000,000 to the taxpayers.

In addition, this project was accomplished through a public/private partnership where the private developer covered all the installation and maintenance costs of the project.

George has worked hard to save the taxpayers money in other areas, as well. In 2016 he led efforts for Clarkstown to be the first municipality to purchase and convert its street lights to LED’s saving money.
