Empowering Our Local Community

I was born in Manhattan, grew up in the Bronx, and later moved to Pleasantville, NY. Today, I am blessed with children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren — and a deep commitment to our community.

With the endorsement of Eleanor’s Legacy, I am running once again to serve as Supervisor of Dover. During my previous time in office, I focused on practical improvements that made our town stronger without burdening taxpayers:

• Restored and painted the Tabor Wing House; later secured a grant to paint the trim.
• Oversaw the addition to Town Hall.
• Worked with Cricket Valley, securing:
  
  • A PILOT agreement for the next 30 years
  • A large plow truck, salt shed, pole barn, and digger
  • A new well at Boyce Park
  • $15,000 for JHK Park improvements
  • Pool fill-in at no cost to taxpayers (including deed change)
• Saved the Dollar General project when it was nearly lost — now a valued town asset.
• Removed stumps from Tabor Wing at no charge.

These were just the beginning. If elected again, I will continue to put Community First — making Dover a place that stands out as a beautiful, vibrant town we’re all proud to call home.

Let’s build on our progress. Elect Linda S. French for Supervisor of Dover.
Vote for Community First.

During my time as a letter carrier, I was active in the National Association of Letter Carriers, holding several positions such as Steward, Vice President, and Health Benefits Representative. As Steward, I enforced contracts and defended carriers in disciplinary cases, often achieving favorable outcomes. I also coordinated our annual national food drive.

In my role as Health Benefits Representative, I encouraged carriers to enroll in the union's health insurance plan and assisted members with healthcare issues. Additionally, I collaborated with the union's state association to lobby elected representatives on postal issues, including potential USPS privatization and carrier benefits.

I am now retired and live in Powell Park with my wife, Barbara, and our two cats, Addie and Anna.
