Ken Jenkins Joins Bramson Campaign as Co-Chair
As Westchester Republicans gave their official nod to Robert Astorino last week that he will run for re-election as Westchester County Executive, Board of Legislators chair Ken Jenkins announced he will co-chair New Rochelle Mayor Noam Bramson’s campaign to run against the republican incumbent.
Jenkins’ new prominent position on Bramson’s campaign is a significant step forward in unifying the party after a hard-fought contest for the Democratic nomination ended with Bramson’s selection at a countywide convention of Democratic district leaders last month.
“Sharing the campaign trail this spring with Ken was an honor,” said Bramson, “and I am grateful that we will now continue to work together on our shared goal of bringing positive change to Westchester.”
“Since the convention ended, I have urged all my friends and supporters to put the full force of their energy and enthusiasm behind Noam’s campaign, and I’m ready to do the same thing. I will be working tirelessly to elect Noam as Westchester’s next County Executive.”
Astorino plans an election kick-off rally for September and says he is looking for bipartisan support in his campaign for re-election.
