Voting Underway in Special Election for Westchester County Executive

Voters are electing a new Westchester County Executive this week. Two candidates are running in the special election Tuesday to replace George Latimer, who stepped down after being elected to Congress. The winner of this election will finish out Latimer’s term through the end of this year.

Democrat Ken Jenkins was formerly Deputy County executive and has been serving in the top job on an interim basis. Republican Christine Sculti is deputy commissioner of the County Board of Elections and served as chief advisor to former County Executive Rob Astorino.

Early voting has been underway since Feb. 1. We visited the Mt. Pleasant Community Center in Valhalla, one early voting site, to talk to voters.

Francesca Hagadus-McHale is vice chair of the Mount Pleasant Democratic Committee. She voted Feb. 1 with her son, since they both had the day off.
