special election
WHITE PLAINS — Our union has endorsed Ken Jenkins in the Feb. 11 special election to fill the role
of Westchester County Executive.
The special
election comes
after longtime
county executive George Latimer was elected last fall to the U.S. House of Represenatives. Jenkins has been serving as acting county executive
since the beginning of 2025. The endorsement comes via
the Southern Region Political
Action Committee. Jenkins has a longstanding strong relationship with our union and has been a staunch advocate for middle class workers.
Beginning when he was a county legislator and more recently when he served as deputy county executive under Latimer, Jenkins has worked cooperatively with CSEA and has prioritized strong labor-management relations.
