Election 2025: Winner Emerges In Rockland County Executive Race

By Ben Crnic From Daily Voice

Polls have closed, and a candidate is projected to win the race for Rockland County Executive. 

Republican Ed Day was defeating Independent Mike Parietti by 73.70% to 25.66% with 93% of districts reporting as of 10:45 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 4, according to unofficial results. 

The Monsey Scoop has called the race for Day, who will serve a fourth term. 

Day ran his campaign on his fiscal achievements while in office, noting that he cut Rockland’s 2013 deficit by 90 percent — from $138 million to $10 million within three years — earning the county five consecutive bond rating upgrades. 

Additionally, Day also highlighted his pro-business policies and local economic investments aimed at strengthening small businesses and attracting new employers. 

Meanwhile, Parietti ran on a platform centered on government transparency, fiscal integrity, and environmental protection, arguing that Rockland's current government is dominated by insider politics and “self-service,” rather than public service. 

He also emphasized sustainable housing, stronger code enforcement, and environmental stewardship, pledging to fight pollution, protect Rockland’s reservoirs and aquifers, and hold polluters accountable.
