In Yorktown, two candidates running for the town's top political spot, met in a debate held on Thursday night.

Deputy Supervisor Ed Lachterman and Jann Mirchandani took the stage, offering insights into their visions for Yorktown's future as town supervisor.

Key topics of discussion included housing, business growth, property development, and the experience required to effectively manage municipalities.

During the debate, Lachterman highlighted his extensive management experience, emphasizing his ability to handle multiple responsibilities. Mirchandani focused on her reputation as a respectful listener, even when faced with opposing viewpoints.

The winner of the special election will complete the term of the late Supervisor Tom Diana, who passed away in January shortly after beginning his first full term.
