Biography
The success of a city is a result of its leadership, and the City of White Plains reflects that success. Mayor Thomas Roach is the essence of White Plains, where he was born. His children are the fifth generation of his family to call White Plains home. While a practicing attorney, he assumed the office of Mayor in 2011 and has accomplished great things for the city since then. Some think Mayor Roach has a ‘double’ because he attends every business opening, cultural event, farmers’ market, and ribbon cutting.
