FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE — NEW CITY, NY (February 15, 2026)
Today, attorney and longtime public servant Eugene Bondar officially announced his candidacy for Clarkstown Supervisor. Bondar laid out a reform-driven vision aimed at protecting Clarkstown’s suburban character, halting unsustainable development, and instituting a “residents-first” approach to local government.
An attorney and entrepreneur, Bondar enters the race with a platform centered on reversing years of what he characterizes as “backroom deals” and “reckless zoning approvals” that have strained the town’s infrastructure.
“Clarkstown is at a breaking point. Our roads are congested, our infrastructure is aging, and our current leadership continues to green-light high-density developments that ignore the concerns of the people who actually live here. I am running to provide the professional, transparent leadership that Clarkstown deserves — leadership that values our quality of life over the interests of developers,” Bondar said.
The Bondar Blueprint for Clarkstown
Bondar’s campaign is built on five key pillars designed to modernize Town Hall and protect taxpayers.
A Zoning Moratorium: An immediate pause on all major high-density residential approvals to allow for a comprehensive modernization of the town’s outdated zoning code.
Infrastructure Accountability: Shifting the financial burden of growth from taxpayers to the private sector by requiring developers to pay for traffic mitigation, drainage improvements, and green spaces.
A “Click-to-See” Transparency Platform: Implementing a searchable online database providing residents with immediate access to all town contracts, budgets, resolutions, and financial audits.
Aggressive Code Enforcement: Aggressively combat illegal property uses and zoning violations, pursuing maximum penalties without settlement and condemning bad actors’ properties.
Fiscal Discipline: Conducting a full forensic audit of town finances to address long-term debt and eliminating “patronage jobs” to keep property taxes stable.
“This is more than a campaign; it’s a movement to ensure our children can afford to grow up in the same beautiful, safe community we know today. It’s time to open the books and put the residents back in charge,” Bondar said.
