The incumbent county executive, Rich Fitzgerald, is ineligible to run for a fourth consecutive term due to term limits.[1] The 2023 election will thus be the first open seat race for county executive since Fitzgerald was elected in 2011,[2] and the winner is expected to become the fourth individual to hold the position of county executive since it was established under the home-rule charter in 2000, following Jim Roddey, Dan Onorato, and Fitzgerald.[3]

The primary election will be held on May 16.[1]
