Kings Point mayor steps down; three running unopposed

Voters in the Village of Kings Point will head to the polls Tuesday, June 16, to fill three village offices — mayor and two trustee seats — with three candidates running unopposed on the village ticket.

Incumbent Trustee Shahriar “Ebi” Victory is seeking election as mayor, while incumbent Trustee Tedi Kashinejad is running for another trustee term. They are joined by Payam Kermanian, chairman of the village’s Enhancement Committee, who is seeking his first elected office as a trustee.

The election follows Mayor Kouros Torkan’s decision not to seek another term. Torkan did not respond to requests for comment regarding his decision.

Victory, 63, has lived in Kings Point for 26 years and has served as a village trustee for the past four years. Before joining the board, he spent five years on the village’s Architectural Review Board. He also serves on several county and town committees, including Nassau County’s NICE Bus oversight committee and the Town of North Hempstead’s nitrogen reduction committee.
