Last night, Westchester chose progress. Westchester chose experience. Westchester chose leadership that shows up and delivers results.

I am deeply honored to be elected as your next Westchester County Executive, and I cannot thank you enough for your support.

I remain committed to common‑sense gun safety measures that protect families, support law enforcement, and get illegal guns off our streets.

Westchester deserves leadership that acts on public safety, that strengthens community partnerships, and that governs with responsibility and integrity.

Chief Cullen also served as an emergency medical technician, further exemplifying his commitment to protecting and serving others. Westchester is safer and stronger because of individuals like him.

To our knowledge, he is the only individual in NYS history to have held the rank of Chief in three different departments, including a career department.

It was a privilege to join the Dobbs Ferry Fire Department in honoring former Chief John H. Cullen for an extraordinary 75 years of volunteer service. Chief Cullen’s lifelong commitment to public safety is a shining example of selfless service, leadership, and dedication.

This kind of progress does not happen in isolation. It takes teamwork across local and county government, as well as strong development partners who share our vision. Thank you to all who helped make this vision a reality.
