Bill Ryan, chairman of the Westchester County Board of Legislators, won a close race against Republican challenger Bob Hyland, Politics on the Hudson has learned.
Ryan won by 136 votes after the results were re-counted, according to Reginald LaFayette, Democratic Commissioner of the Board of Elections and chairman of the county’s Democratic Committee. The elections board is expected to certify the results today.
Staff Writer Ben Rubin confirmed the results at the Board of Elections this morning.
With Ryan’s race won, he may seek another term as chairman of the board, though several other legislators are also interested in that post. Legislators will elect a chairman early next year.

I cant believe Ryan won again, even after the scandal. only in westchester can a part-time worker make close to six figures and be able to hire full-time staff that make over six figures. unbelievable.
What a shame. This guy needed to be flushed.
recount!
I am shaking my head, we just gave this guy a ticket to do anything he wants. What I don’t understand is how he even got one single vote, after the Kriss controversy and his attempt to the pay raise. Are the people of white plains, democrats blind? Dumb? Stupid? I guess so. But then again this paper after all their reporting decided not to have an opinion in their editorial section, so I have to apply the same critique to the JN as well.
What a shame that Hyland did not win. ryan has done nothing for the residents of WP’s and Scarsdale. He takes and takes. Makes one sick! He lost a lot of weight but this win will certainly swell up his head.
Where are the election results including absentee ballots and write-ins? I don’t see them on the BOE website. They still show zero absentee ballots.
Ryan should thank his lucky stars he won.
He shouldn’t think about trying to be Chairman again. 6 years is enough.
Bill should now run for the vacant Assembly seat left open by Adam’s move to Mayor. Bill is a statesman and understands state politics better then most. He would have my vote, he is up 1 – 0 as of now.
Understanding State politics in the Assembly equates to hearing what Shel Silver has to say and then saying “yes, sir.”
On top of that, after his latest showing at the polls, he probably couldn’t even secure the Democratic nomination even for a seat so useless. If anything, it couldn’t be more obvious that the Assembly needs some new and innovative young blood and not more of the same tired and cynical dysfunction.
He should grab that gavel on the desk and bang on it a few hundred times so that he can get it out of his system and prepare to take a seat in the rear.
Even Democrats are tired of this guy. Buh-bye!
