Westchester County Director of Faith-Based Initiatives and Urban Affairs Crystal Collins officially withdrew her name as a candidate for the 2025 Westchester County Clerk race.
“While seeking the nomination from the Westchester County Democratic Committee for the position of County Clerk, I encountered some unforeseen challenges. After discussing these concerns with my children and family, I decided to withdraw my name from consideration. Now is not the right time,” Collins shared via video (see below) on Wednesday, January 8th.
Collins states she will “remain a dedicated public servant leader and advocate for my community. I plan to continue serving as a bridge builder engaging with the community and uplifting and empowering the residents of Westchester County. This isn’t the end, it’s just the beginning. I am inspired by the people who have supported me throughout the past and who have ignited a fire in me to continue serving my community with dedication, experience, and integrity.”
