Dear Editor,
As discussed in the Feb. 6 article “Jenkins and Sculti to square off in County Executive race,” there will be a special election on Tuesday, Feb. 11, to elect a new Westchester County Executive. The candidates are Democrat Ken Jenkins and Republican Christine Sculti.
Jenkins is presently the acting County Executive (appointed by the Westchester County Board of Legislators in early January after then-County Executive George Latimer became a Congressman in New York’s 16th Congressional District). Sculti is a Deputy Commissioner for the Westchester County Board of Elections. She unsuccessfully challenged Mr. Latimer in the 2021 County Executive race.
Westchester voters may be interested in knowing that, in 2021, the Westchester Coalition for Legal Abortion (WCLA) PAC “Choice Matters” labeled Sculti an “anti-choice zealot who has aligned herself with like-minded religious extremists at [New York State] Right to Life” who “opposes reproductive health care from birth control through abortion.” (https://wclapac.org/2021/10/before-you-vote-know-the-truth-about-anti-choice-extremist-christine-sculti/).
In other words, Jenkins is the only pro-choice candidate in this election. I urge pro-choice Westchester voters to vote accordingly.
