Village of Floral Park Trustees Kevin M. Fitzgerald and Archie T. Cheng are running unopposed in the village elections in March.
Fitzgerald is running for his fifth two-year term and Cheng for his third, both on the Citizens Party line.
The election will be held Wednesday, March 18.
Cheng, who has been a Floral Park resident since 1978, was appointed as a trustee in February 2016 after the death of Trustee James Rhatigan.
Cheng was previously the president of both the Floral Park-Bellerose and Sewanhaka school boards.
Fitzgerald was appointed to the village board in 2011 and was made deputy mayor following Rhatigan’s death.
He first got involved in village government as a member of the Third Track Task Force, fighting the Metropolitan Transportation Authority’s plan for a third Long Island Rail Road track in the mid-2000s.
The village later reactivated the committee when the MTA revived the third-track proposal and tapped Cheng to lead it.
Recently, Fitzgerald has been vocal about what he calls a lack of the transparency about the redevelopment project at Belmont Park.
“I, and I think all residents of Floral Park, the surrounding communities and the entire state should be extremely disappointed in how this entire process has unfolded and continues to unfold,” Fitzgerald wrote in a news release on Jan. 22.
Elections for the Village of New Hyde Park occur every two years in March and do not take place this year.
