Yadira Ramos-Herbert Attempts To Make History as New Rochelle’s First Female Mayor
New Rochelle Councilwoman Yadira Ramos-Herbert (District 3) has thrown her hat into the growing field of candidates who hope to replace longtime Mayor Noam Bramson when he leaves office after this year.

Ramos-Herbert – a Columbia Law School Administrator – was first elected to the New Rochelle City Council in 2019, in the seat left vacant when her predecessor Jared Rice became City Court Judge. Ramos-Herbert wants to build on the work she has done in her time on the council, including housing affordability, redistricting, expanding our summer youth employment program, police accountability and COVID response and recovery. “I’ve had the honor and privilege to serve our city as a Councilwoman and I will bring that same passion and energy that I used to tackle police accountability, COVID-19 vaccine distribution and increasing summer youth employment to the Mayorship.
