WESTCHESTER, N.Y. – Ken Jenkins has declared victory in the Special Election to complete former County Executive George Latimer’s term. His statement is below:
“It is an honor to be elected Westchester County Executive. I want to thank everyone who showed up to the polls, in the snow and wind, to let their voices be heard. Instead of succumbing to partisan division, we chose to come together and chart a new course forward – one focused on bringing real, lasting results to every community across Westchester County.
We won’t be distracted by the chaos in Washington – my administration will continue to deliver great services for Westchester residents and tackle the issues that matter most. It’s time to build on our progress, secure funding for affordable housing, bring down costs for working people and their families, keep every resident safe, protect all our rights, defend democracy, and ensure everyone has a real opportunity to succeed.
Nothing is ever achieved alone. I’m honored by the support that led our campaign to this historic victory. I specifically want to thank my wife Deborah, our children, and our entire family for their support. I also want to thank my campaign team, Congressmember George Latimer, Governor Kathy Hochul, U.S. Senators Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand, NYS Attorney General Letitia James, NYS Comptroller Tom DiNapoli, State Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins, the unions, the community organizations, my colleagues in public service across the county and beyond, and our volunteers whose support powered us across the finish line.
To all of Westchester County: I am honored to serve you, and I will work each and every day to deliver for our families.”
