Former Councilwoman Nadine Hunt Robinson Attempts To Make History As First Black Mayor of White Plains

Date:

Nadine Hunt-Robinson who made history on November 4, 2014, by becoming the first African-American woman elected to serve on the White Plains Common Council and again six years later on January 6, 2020, when the Common Council voted unanimously to appoint Hunt-Robinson as its president, making her the first African American Woman to serve as Council President is attempting to make history again, this time as the first African American and the first Woman elected as the Mayor of White Plains.

Black Westchester found out Hunt-Robinson was running in the September 27th Mayoral Listening Tour post on the Friends of Nadine Hunt-Robinson Facebook page but confirmed it officially when we spoke to her at the Westchester County Democrats Election Night Watch Party at the Coliseum Nightclub in White Plains, that she wants to help White Plains reach that “next level.”

“I have been an advocate for the city of White Plains for many years. Now after much prayer and deliberation, I am running to be the Advocate-In-Chief for the people of our city. People should feel that City Hall is their house and that City Hall works for them,” shared Hunt-Robinson who is running as The People’s Advocate.

The First Lady of First Community Baptist Church (142 Edgepark Rd), and corporate attorney served on the council from 2014 until 2023, when she did not seek reelection.

White Plains Councilman Justin Brasch, who is also an attorney, confirmed to Black Westchester at the Westchester Dems Watch Party, his intention to run for mayor as well. Insiders tell BW that Mayor Thomas Roach hasn’t decided whether he’ll run for another term.
