Pelham election centers on budget oversight
A local resident urges voters to back two incumbents who have restructured town financial processes and public service access in their first nine months.
By Carolina Wood ·
Erin Ginsburg, a resident of 9 Boulevard, is asking neighbors to vote for Theresa Mohan and Eileen Miller in the November 3 election.
Ginsburg wrote to the editor of the Pelham Examiner on October 30, 2026. She describes a history of working with both candidates in school and civic settings. She notes that Mohan and Miller have served in public office for nine months.
Mohan took the role of Town Supervisor after the previous administration. She reviewed the inherited budget line by line. She implemented new rules for procurement and spending to control costs. She also launched a community budget guide so residents can track tax obligations and expenses. Her administration made government meetings more accessible to the public.
Miller serves as Town Clerk. She updated the Town of Pelham website to improve clarity. She changed how the office sends official communications to reach more people. She organized the first Community Services Day. That event combined services from local and county governments into a single location for residents.
Ginsburg highlights past actions by the candidates during crises. She recalls Mohan coordinating emergency legal aid for homeowners in Queens after Superstorm Sandy. She remembers Miller sewing face masks and leading a personal protective equipment drive for hospitals during the height of the pandemic. Miller served on the Board of Education while managing that effort.
The letter positions the upcoming vote as a choice for fiscal accountability. Ginsburg argues that keeping the Pelham EMS system in public hands is preferable to selling it to a private equity firm. She frames the decision as a preference for established processes over informal management styles.
Ginsburg invites readers to join her in supporting the re-election of Mohan and Miller. She says their approach is methodical and transparent. She asserts that their combined experience matches the current challenges facing the town. The vote is scheduled for Tuesday, November 3.
