Alfred Benedict DelBello (November 3, 1934 – May 15, 2015) was an American politician and lawyer from New York. A registered Democrat, he served as the lieutenant governor of New York from 1983 to 1985. DelBello was the first Democrat to be elected Westchester County Executive, an office he held from 1974 until 1982, when he stepped down to become lieutenant governor.
He began his political career as a city councilman in Yonkers, New York. He was elected the mayor of Yonkers in November 1969, defeating incumbent Republican mayor James F.X. O'Rourke. DelBello took office in January 1970 as the city's youngest mayor in history (at the time) at the age of 35, as well of the first Democratic mayor of Yonkers in more than thirty years.[1] DelBello, who served as mayor from 1970 to 1974, won re-election to a second term on November 2, 1971.[1]
