Port Chester-Rye Branch Celebrates Member Marion Anderson’s Election & Installation to Rye City Council

RYE, NY -- The members of the NAACP Port Chester-Rye Branch are thrilled to congratulate Marion Anderson on her successful election and recent installation as a member of the Rye City Council. In the November 2025 municipal election, Ms. Anderson ran as part of a slate that earned strong support from voters across the community, helping secure seats on the council for her and her Democratic colleagues.

As the first African American City Council member in Rye, Councilwoman Anderson’s installation at the January 7th ceremony marked a significant moment for the city. Alongside newly sworn-in Mayor Josh Nathan and fellow council members, she begins her term committed to serving Rye with integrity and collaboration.

As a lifelong Rye resident with deep roots in civic engagement and community service, Anderson brings valuable experience and perspective to her new role. Her election reflects both the confidence of her neighbors and the growing emphasis on inclusive representation in local government. We look forward to working with Marion and the City of Rye to further engage residents of all ages and to advance our shared goals in the ongoing fight for equality, justice and opportunity for everyone in our community.

Once again, congratulations to Marion Anderson on this well-deserved achievement and her service ahead.
