Ken Jenkins is the Best Candidate for Westchester County Executive in the Special Election on 2/11
By: Jennie Sunshine
Ken Jenkins is the Westchester County Executive at this time – since Former County Executive, George Latimer won a seat in Congress in November’s election in the 16th Congressional District. As a proven, dedicated leader as Deputy County Executive over the last 7 years, Ken worked along side George Latimer to reduce crime, invest in affordable housing, fund needed infrastructure, champion environmental, veterans and climate mitigation projects – and cut property taxes four times without any reduction in essential services.
Prior to this post, Mr. Jenkins was elected Chairman of the Westchester Board of Legislators 4 years in a row. Proudly raised by a NYC police officer and a nurse and having earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science from Iona University (and then with his extensive work experience in tech and real estate), he brings a unique perspective to the top job, always an advocate for hardworking families and business leaders. You might have seen him on News 12 over the years as a frequent news analyst. Some of his board member experience includes: The Westchester County Crime Stoppers, The Greyston Foundation, The Community Planning Council of Yonkers and The United Way.
He has been endorsed by Congressman George Latimer, State Senator Nathalia Fernandez, State Senator Shelley Mayer, State Senator Pete Harckham, State Senator Jamaal Bailey and New York State Senator Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins. Vote for Westchester County Executive, Ken Jenkins – early beginning Saturday, 2/1 or on the special election day, Tuesday, 2/11.

“Populist Conservation & Constitutional Order:”
This was a talk delivered by a well- known historian/novelist
to a gathering at a Midwestern college-in which he said “in part”-
“The Top Down elitist brand of politics that has dominated the United States since the end of the cold war—under Republican & Democratic administrations alike—has failed. Yes we are materially richer than we were in 1991, and our largest corporations are more profitable. But we are militarily & strategically weaker,
fiscally endangered, and spiritually enervated. As a result, public trust in the vaunted institutions that our elites control—political, scientific, journalistic, educational, religious—has evaporated. And populism—especially on the conservative right, is on the rise.”
“The fact is, elite institutions have become the people’s and the nation’s enemies. They are openly waging cultural war on those they ostensibly serve. They cannot
be negotiated with or accommodated. They must be defunded, disbanded, and disempowered .The rewards for doing so—for putting American Families first again—will be greater than we can know.”

To the Editor,
President Trump is attempting to end birthright citizenship, a legal principle, not enshrined in our state constitutions, a move that Trump proposed during his first term.
In the context of the constitution, the Supreme Court has repeatedly emphasize the significance of historical evidence. The meaning and intent of the words at that time in history.
The American slaves were not citizens of a state.
The Civil War to free the slaves, began, April 12, 1861 and ended April 9, 1865.
The most controversial amendment in American history, the 14th amendment to the constitution, July 9, 1866 – the purpose was citizenship for black American’s not immigration.
