Thu, 06/12/2025 - 09:49

Elections for Sag Harbor Village mayor and two seats on the village board will take place on Tuesday from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. at the Sag Harbor Fire Department headquarters off Brick Kiln Road, but in each case, incumbents are running unopposed. 

Mayor Thomas Gardella is seeking his second two-year term. Prior to his election as mayor in 2023, he had served as a village board member for five years, four of them as deputy mayor under two former mayors, Kathleen Mulcahy and Jim Larocca. 

Aidan Corish is seeking his fifth term on the village board, having been elected for the first time in 2017. Bob Plumb is seeking his fourth term on the board. He had previously served four years on the village’s zoning board of appeals. 

There are no other propositions on the ballot this year.
