LWVW will not be holding a candidate forum for the office of Westchester County Clerk. Thomas M. Roach (D) had agreed to participate in a virtual candidate forum but Sheila Marcotte (R) declined LWVW’s invitation, citing a full calendar.
A forum with only one candidate present is an “empty chair” meeting and is prohibited by LWVW policy. LWVW regrets that this proposed voter education event will not be occurring.
LWV-sponsored candidate forums are conducted in a way that neither promotes nor advances one candidate over another and provide an important vehicle for the public to hear directly from candidates. LWVW strives to run forums in respectful environments that encourage civil discourse in a nonpartisan format with questions that have been carefully vetted, aim to avoid duplication, and address as wide a range of topics suited to the office sought. LWVW is disappointed that voters in Westchester County will have no such opportunity to learn more about the candidates running for Westchester County Clerk.
LWVS and LWVWP will not be holding a candidate forum for the office of Westchester County Board of Legislators District 5. Jennifer L. Puja (D) had agreed to participate in a virtual candidate forum but Frank Schanne (R) did not respond to the invitation despite repeated outreach.

Many of the book’s themes, including government censorship, mass surveillance, alternative facts, and the manipulation of truth, remain relevant today.

During his tenure as County Executive, Latimer upheld an impressive record of achievements, including three consecutive County property tax cuts and credit rating stabilization. He was also responsible for bringing several long-standing infrastructure projects to fruition, including the historic Elijah J. Miller House, Sprain Ridge Pool, New Rochelle Family Court and the North and South County Trailways. Latimer also worked to electrify the County’s Bee-Line Bus Fleet and modernize all County facilities for a green future.
