While there are no contests in the coming June 16 elections in Kings Point or Lake Success, the elections for mayor and two trustees in the Village of Great Neck are contested.
The Great Neck Record invites all candidates to send a headshot (in jpg form) and a Word attachment with their statements (300 to 350 words) to the Great Neck Record (wkreitzman@antonmediagroup.com). Included should be: a biography, information containing the candidate’s experience, why the candidate is running for office and what is considered a priority. No criticisms of other officials will be accepted at this time.
Some villages, and some candidates, do comply. In the weeks to come, we will publish all such election materials.
The Record will accept such candidate information for publication for contested elections until Wednesday, May 27, at noon.
Information from candidates in uncontested elections will be accepted until Wednesday, June 3, at 5 p.m.
The six other Great Neck villages (Great Neck Estates, Great Neck Plaza, Kensington, Russell Gardens, Saddle Rock and Thomaston) all hold elections in June.
