Democrat Ken Jenkins celebrated his re-election as Westchester County Executive, just eight months after first winning election in the special election following George Latimer’s election to Congress.

In his comments, Jenkins thanked the people of Westchester for their continued support while laying out a list of
major achievements during the initial months of his administration. “From housing and health to veterans’ services and workforce support — we’re making sure everyone in Westchester feels seen, safe, and supported,” said Jenkins.

“So tonight, we celebrate more than a victory. We celebrate proof. Proof that stable, competent, forward-looking leadership works. Proof that when the government listens — when it cares — when it puts people first — progress
follows. Proof that what people really want isn’t drama and it isn’t chaos – it’s results.”

Under Jenkins’ leadership, Westchester has seen a sharp drop in crime, significant investments in housing, an improved bond rating, and effective actions to lower costs among contracted services. “In a time of division, we
brought unity. In a time of chaos, we brought stability. In a time of too much empty rhetoric, we brought results. We’ve made Westchester safer, we’ve made it stronger, more sustainable, and more united than ever before,” Jenkins continued.

“So tonight, let’s keep moving forward — with integrity, with purpose, and with pride in this place we all call home.”
