The Peekskill Republican Committee is honored to announce Elena Muniz Walker and Garrett Dowd as candidates seeking office for City of Peekskill – City Council positions in elections this November.
Muniz Walker says “As a longtime-actively involved resident of Peekskill, I’ve seen a decline in the quality of life, safety and City Hall’s ability to fiscally manage the city. I have received input from many residents who have real concerns that will be addressed by me as a Council Member. Peekskill has undergone many changes that are not improving the city. Excessive development, zoning law changes, failed Code Enforcement and increased taxes are burdens that cannot continue. I want to be a voice for reason and change who will represent those residents who feel overlooked yet are highly impacted by bad decisions. The residents of Peekskill deserve more than broken promises and neglected neighborhoods. I’ll bring competent and common sense leadership that listens, takes action and gets results.”
Dowd says “Peekskill should be a shining jewel of the Hudson River Towns, but today it is a city on the brink of failure — too many empty storefronts, too much debt in City Hall, our streets unsafe and dirty – and a Common Council clueless as towhat to do about it. My pledge is simple: to put to work my 30 years of business expertise as an attorney to restore financial transparency and basic competence to our government, make our streets safe and clean, and fight to bring back businesses and jobs. Let’s build a Peekskill that is safe, confident, thriving, and friendly to everyone.”
Early voting occurs October 25th through November 2nd.
Election Day – Tuesday, November 4th.

Chairman Peekskill Republican Committee
