Vivian McKenzie was elected Mayor on November 2, 2021 winning 64% of the votes.  Appointed to the Common Council in 2013, and twice re-elected, Deputy Mayor McKenzie has helped to fundamentally transform the way the City conducts business: reforming hiring practices to diversify the city’s work force to better reflect the community and to focus on hiring locally, streamlining the way the city’s economic development office operates to attract private investment in the community, led efforts to diversify the Peekskill City Court and the Peekskill Police Department, and advanced the most significant investment in affordable housing in almost 40 years.

Peekskill is one of the most diverse, exciting, and transformative communities in all of Westchester and we are proud to have her lead us.
