Town Board


TEACHER • MOTIVATOR • LEADER


It is with great enthusiasm and a profound sense of duty that I am running for re-election to be your Town council member. My priorities have always been clear: Help Cornwall’s small businesses and families succeed. It is my duty to give back to the community that has given me so much. I am running for re-election to support thoughtful improvements to our town while preserving our quiet charm and beauty. With your help, I will continue to work for Cornwall, listen to Cornwall and act for the good of everyone in the beautiful town we share.

About Me

Cornwall neighbors, I'm excited to be running for re-election to the Cornwall Town Board because, like you, I care deeply about our town's future. For the past 25 years, Cornwall has been my home — a place where my husband and I raised our daughter who graduated from CCHS before heading off to college and law school.


I believe in preserving the charm, character, and strong sense of community that make Cornwall so special. My passion for this town has driven me to serve in many ways, and I’d be honored to continue that work with your support.


As an educator for over 23 years, I’ve dedicated my career to shaping young minds. For the past decade, I’ve also been a proud USTA member and tennis coach, sharing my love for the sport with students of all ages — from preschoolers to high schoolers — right here in Cornwall! Additionally, I coach the James I. O’Neill Varsity Tennis teams in Highland Falls.


Teaching and coaching have reinforced the values I bring to public service: patience, teamwork, and the ability to listen and collaborate to achieve meaningful results. These skills are critical in local government, where thoughtful leadership and community-driven decision-making matters. Importantly, I love engaging with the incredible people of our town. Whether at the farmers’ market, a local event, or over coffee at one of our lovely cafes, I’m always eager to hear your ideas, concerns, and hopes for Cornwall’s future.


Let’s keep working together to make Cornwall an even better place to live, work, and play. Feel free to reach out to me anytime at rokhsha47@gmail.com — I’d love to chat.


I hope to earn your support on Election Day, Tuesday, November 4, 2025!

Local Issues

Community

In 2022, I founded the Cornwall Youth Garden Club to provide a space for young people to connect with nature.


I am dedicated to fostering a strong sense of community by creating opportunities for residents to come together and support one another in meaningful ways.

Recreation

As an avid hiker and outdoor enthusiast, I created the Cornwall Hiking Club, bringing together residents of all ages who share a passion for our wonderful outdoors.

I am committed to expanding recreational programs for all ages, ensuring our community has access to activities that promote health, connection, and a strong quality of life.

Youth

For the past five years, I have coached the James I. O'Neill's Varsity Boys and Girls tennis teams.

I am dedicated to empowering our youth by providing opportunities for growth and engagement to ensure they have the resources and support to thrive in our county.

Small Business

As an active member of the Chamber of Commerce, I believe that supporting local businesses is crucial for building a strong economy. 

By choosing to shop local, we empower our community and generate job opportunities.
