Assemblyman Ed Ra (R)
Ed Ra is running for his third term in the Assembly. As the ranking member of the Assembly Education Committee, Ra co-authored the APPLE Plan which would place a moratorium on common core curriculum and aligned exams. He seeks improvements to our business climate that will benefit our main street businesses like the proposed small business IRA legislation. His focus will continue to be working to make Nassau County more affordable for seniors, young people and middle class taxpayers by growing our economy and reducing costly state mandates. Assemblyman Ra lives in Garden City South with his wife.
Candidate Gary Port (D)
Assembly candidate, army veteran with 28 years of service, father, and small business owner Gary Port, is a leader with values and common sense.

As a member of the Assembly, Port will sponsor and co-sponsor legislation to support and protect veterans, and help work to fully fund education programs for special education programs. Port is seeking to represent the 19th Assembly District, encompasses parts of the Towns of Hempstead, parts of the Town of North Hempstead and parts of the Town of Oyster Bay in Nassau County.
