In Westchester, Latimer earned a decisive victory over Republican challenger Christine Sculti by a record 62 percent to 38 percent margin, according to the Board of Elections.

According to his camp, Latimer remains undefeated in his Westchester electoral history - tonight marking his 20th victory, and only once before has a Democratic County Executive broken the 60 percent threshold in an election.

“We have established a solid record in office and the voters knew it,” Latimer said. “We rallied our Democratic base to be sure, but we went beyond that to capture independent voters and a large slice of Republicans who want solid results from government that we can deliver— not just right-wing rhetoric.


“It is an honor to once again have the trust of Westchester residents placed in me.”

In Rockland, Day, a Republican, won his third term by an even larger margin, topping Democratic challenger L’Tanya Watkins by a 72.6 percent to 27.4 percent margin.

“A most humbling moment in my life,” Day said. "Thank you for such a resounding endorsement of my efforts over the past eight years and know that I will work twice as hard over the next four years in service to you and your families.”
