Elected Officials

The City of Goshen is governed by the Mayor and seven voting Common Council members. Five of the Councilors are elected to represent a voting district. Two councilors are elected to represent the city at-large.

Youth Advisor to the Common Council

The Council also has a Youth Advisor, a student elected annually by peers at Goshen High School. The Youth Advisor participates fully in Council proceedings, including voting, although the vote is not counted toward the legal outcome.
