WPCNR THE LETTER TICKER JANUARY 7,2024:

Kenneth W. Jenkins
Westchester County Executive

Dear Neighbors,

As I step into the role of the next leader of Westchester County Government, I want to take a moment to introduce myself and share more about who I am and my vision for our community. For the past 43 years, Westchester has been more than where I serve— it’s been my home. It’s where my wife Deborah and I raised our three children, and where I’ve dedicated my career to public service.

I have held various roles within Westchester County Government over the past 18 years. Having served as Deputy County Executive under George Latimer since January 1, 2018, I have seen firsthand what it takes to lead this County with integrity, respect and vision. Together we worked to cut taxes, build affordable housing, protect a woman’s right to choose, reduce crime, secure tax breaks for veterans, restore aging infrastructure and protect the environment. When I was on the County Board, we championed the needs of middle-class families.
Prior to holding political office, I built an extensive career in telecommunications and technology, holding key roles at leading companies such as Apple, AT&T, Bell Atlantic, New York Telephone (Verizon), NYNEX and Seer Technologies. I also gained valuable sales experience, as an owner and broker, during my tenure at ERA Gem Realty, further enhancing my knowledge of the real estate sector.

Please watch this short video, to learn a little bit more about me.

As we navigate this time of transition and change in administration, please know that I am committed to putting your needs first. We’ve made tremendous strides, and together, we will continue to move Westchester County forward—prioritizing the values of democracy, safety, education, technological advancement and community engagement.

Finally, one last request. If you see me out and about—whether catching a movie or enjoying one of our many incredible local restaurants—please don’t hesitate to stop and say hello. I’m here to listen, collaborate and build a brighter future for all who call Westchester County home.

Sincerely,
Kenneth W. Jenkins

Westchester County Executive
