Goshen Village Mayor Molly O'Donnell announced her resignation effective March 13, 2026, after serving her second term since 2023. The announcement came through the village's Facebook page on March 2, revealing her decision to step down while maintaining her position as Orange County Commissioner of Jurors. O'Donnell expressed gratitude for her service in both roles.

This leadership transition comes as Deputy Mayor Scott Wohl prepares to assume the mayoral duties at O'Donnell's final public board meeting on March 9. Wohl previously served as Goshen mayor, bringing experience to the role. The timing allows for an orderly transition before O'Donnell's official departure.

The dual-role conflict highlights the challenges of balancing municipal and county responsibilities. O'Donnell's statement emphasized her continued commitment to Goshen despite stepping down from the mayoral position. Her decision reflects the practical limitations of holding multiple public offices simultaneously.
