A County Executive is an elected official responsible for overseeing the administration of a county's government. They manage various departments, implement policies, and ensure that local laws are enforced. The role often includes preparing the county budget and working with the county legislature to address community needs. County Executives serve as the primary point of contact between the county government and its residents. They may also represent the county in regional and state matters, collaborating with other officials, such as mayors and governors, to promote local interests and address issues affecting the community.
