On June 8, 2011, the Pound Ridge Democratic Committee unanimously voted to support the candidacy of Honorable Regina Kelly for Town Justice and resident and community leader, Ali Boak for an open Town Board seat.  Regina Kelly, currently a sitting Town Justice in Pound Ridge, is seeking her sixth term in office.   The Town Board position became an “open seat” when current Town Board member Paul McConville publically announced in May that he will not be seeking re-election due to upcoming plans to move out of Pound Ridge.

“The Pound Ridge Democratic Committee in Pound Ridge is very energized.” says Pound Ridge Democratic Committee Chairwoman Roslyn Stone-Pollock.  “This past November our get out the vote efforts produced a win in Pound Ridge for former Congressman John Hall who ultimately lost his seat in 2010.   We ran a great local campaign in 2009 and are positioned to run an even better one this year.”

According to Ali Boak “I am honored to have been selected by the Pound Ridge Democratic Committee to run for this seat.   I have a lot of ideas on how we can make Pound Ridge the best that it can be through leadership, hard work, and collaboration.”

And Justice Kelly said,   “I am proud and humbled to be running for my sixth term as Town Justice of Pound Ridge.  I will continue to serve the Town, New York’s judicial system, and uphold the law.”

Ali Boak, Town Board Candidate

Ali Boak has a distinguished track record of volunteer service and community activism.  She served as a US Peace Corps volunteer and a Fulbright Scholar in Latvia from 1994-1997.  In 1999, upon graduating from the Mailman School of Public Health of Columbia University, Ali co-founded the International Organization for Adolescents (IOFA), an independent, non-profit organization working globally to address emerging problems facing vulnerable youth.  In this capacity, she is a co-founder of the Westchester Anti-Trafficking Task Force.  She has been actively locally serving on the Bedford Central School District’s Budget Advisory Committee; chairing the School Board Liaison Committee for Pound Ridge Elementary School (2009-2010); serving as a Brownie leader for a 3^rd Grade Troop in Pound Ridge, member of the Town of Pound Ridge Ad-Hoc Committee on Sensible Airspace, and co-founder and Board Member of the Pound Ridge Partnership.  She lives in Pound Ridge with her husband and their four daughters.

Regina Kelly, Town Justice Candidate

Regina Kelly has served as one of two Town Justices since 1992, ten years after receiving her law degree from Fordham University School of Law.  She served as a Village Prosecutor, and practices law in White Plains.  Regina is admitted to practice in the courts of New York, Connecticut, the Southern and Eastern Federal Districts of New York, the Federal District of Connecticut and the Supreme Court of the United States.  She is a member of the New York State Bar Association, Connecticut Bar Association, the Westchester County Magistrates Association, New York State Magistrates Association and the New York Collaborative Law Group, and has served as a trustee of the Westchester County Magistrates Association and the Pound Ridge Historical Society.
