Interview: Aidan Rowan, Re: GOP District Representative Election 2026

Beskrivelse

Aidan Rowan, who is running in District 11 for the Town of Stony Point (Election on Tuesday 6/23/2026), said in an interview with Rockland News that voters should pay closer attention to committee races because, in his view, they help shape which candidates move forward for town and party leadership positions. Rowan said his campaign is focused on accountability, transparency, taxes, code enforcement and long-term affordability for younger families and retirees who want to remain in Stony Point. Rowan argued that Stony Point needs “change” at the committee level, saying he believes too many decisions are made without enough open discussion among committee members and voters. He also pointed to concerns he said he heard while campaigning door to door, including property taxes, neighborhood code enforcement, housing affordability and the future of town leadership.
