Endorsement

Lakeland RISE is committed to supporting Board of Education candidates that represent our caring and diverse community. We’re thrilled to announce our endorsement of an amazing community member who far exceeds these qualities. 

Everyone, meet Bryan Hoben.

Over the past few months, Lakeland RISE has worked closely with Bryan as he prepared his campaign, and we feel he is above and beyond the best choice for new, informed leadership in Lakeland. His unique set of personal and professional experiences would be of tremendous value to the Lakeland Board of Education.

Bryan is a Cortlandt Manor resident and attorney with a law practice in downtown Peekskill. He and his wife, Pulitzer prize-winning photojournalist Stephanie Sinclair, are the proud parents of two special needs children adopted from China who are thriving students at George Washington and Copper Beech.

Bryan was inspired to run for a seat on the LCSD Board of Education after spending six years advocating for his visually impaired children. He believes that a quality public school education for every child plays a pivotal role in our communities and our nation.  He believes that a quality public school education for every child plays a pivotal role in our communities and our nation. He has seen his children benefit from their exposure to other students from different cultures, income levels, as well as mental and physical abilities, which has allowed them to feel accepted and find value in inclusivity.

Learn more about Bryan at his official bio, and stay tuned for details about “meet and greet” events over the coming weeks.


In the meantime, don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions at [email protected] or through each candidate’s official campaign pages on Facebook.
