George Latimer (he/him/his), a third generation Westchester native, was born on November 22, 1953, in Mount Vernon to the late Stanley and Loretta (Miner) Latimer. In January 2018 Latimer took office as the 9th Westchester County Executive, and was elected to a second term in November 2021, never losing an election after over three decades in public office. During his tenure as County Executive, Latimer has upheld an impressive record of achievements including four consecutive County property tax cuts and credit rating stabilization. He is also responsible for bringing several long-standing infrastructure projects to fruition including Memorial Field, the Elijah J. Miller House, Sprain Ridge Pool, New Rochelle Family Court, and the North and South County Trailways. Latimer led Westchester through the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic, helping the County to rebound, rebuild and recover. He made history when he unveiled the County’s 9/11 First Responders Memorial on the 20th Anniversary of the September 11th attacks, dedicated to the heroes who passed away from 9/11 related illnesses. Latimer has worked with all stakeholders on key social justice reforms, including the Police Reform and Reimagining Task Force, banning Gay Conversion Therapy, signing the Anti-Wage Theft Law and the Wage History Anti-Discrimination Law, among others. He has worked to electrify the County’s Bee-Line Bus Fleet and modernize all County facilities for a green future. Latimer’s sound business experience, his record of public service and his dedication to Westchester County have been the driving force behind his efforts for the last 35 years. Using inclusion and openness as a foreground, he is fighting to make Westchester County a destination for all people to live, work and enjoy.
