David Imamura was elected to the Westchester County Board of Legislators in a special election on February 27, 2023 to represent District 12, comprised of Ardsley, Dobbs Ferry, Edgemont, Hartsdale, Hastings-on-Hudson, and Irvington. He was re-elected that November to a full two-year term that began in January ’24. He is the first Asian-American to serve on the Board of Legislators.

Legislator Imamura serves as the Chair of the Law and Major Contracts Committee and the Saw Mill River Watershed Advisory Board. He also serves as Vice Chair of the Legislation Committee and the Housing and Planning Committee, and is a member of the Information Technology & Cybersecurity Legislation Committee.  

Legislator Imamura is committed to creating a Westchester County that is open and affordable to all, particularly in the areas of housing and childcare. In 2024, he sponsored the Safety Measures for Survivors of Domestic Violence Act, which provided free lock changes to victims of domestic violence. And he is proud to have assisted with the drafting and passage of the Westchester Immigrant Protection Act and the Westchester Discriminatory Harassment Law.

David and his wife, Kathleen, were able to have their children only with the help of in vitro fertilization and are strong supporters of IVF and other fertility treatments.  In 2024, Senator Chuck Schumer invited David and nine-months-pregnant Kathleen to attend the State of the Union Address in support of IVF.  Their daughter was born 11 days later.  

Prior to joining the Board, David served as Chair of the New York State Independent Redistricting Commission and as Co-Chair of the Westchester Asian-American Advisory Board. Legislator Imamura received a Bachelor’s degree from Dartmouth College and a J.D. from Columbia Law School. He is an attorney with experience in New York State election, campaign finance, and voting rights law.

David was raised in Irvington, where his parents still live, and where he now resides with his wife, son, and daughter.
