Elect Councilman
Glen Hockley for Mayor

Glen Hockley has been on the Common Council of White Plains since 2001.  As a City councilman, putting people above politics has always been his priority. He is a consensus gatherer that is accessible and listens to his constituents regardless of their political party affiliation.

Glen has always been a doer.  This is demonstrated through the creation of his "walkabout", in which each week he knocks on doors at different streets and asks, "What are your concerns?" and "How am I doing?" This interaction gives Glen access to the pulse of the people's interests.  When it comes to local issues, he is never guided to make decisions by satisfying party-political goals, but rather by satisfying the people's goals.  "It's an honor and privilege to serve", Hockley says.
