Debra S. Mulé
WHY I’M RUNNING – I am committed to public service and bring experience as a past Freeport School Board trustee and president (9 years), Freeport Village Board trustee (3 years) and legislator and now alternate deputy minority leader (nearly 8 years) to this position. I am also committed to seeing several key initiatives that I have embarked upon through to completion, and I am excited for the opportunity to serve the residents of the Sixth District for another term if afforded the privilege by voters.
TOP 3 ISSUES:
- I continue to focus on infrastructure investments, and my efforts to date have yielded the completion of a multimillion-dollar overhaul of Roosevelt’s Centennial Park; $13 million for improvements to Baldwin’s Grand Avenue Complete Streets project; $3 million to beautify Silver Lake Park and correct flooding: and millions more to address flooding on Long Beach Road in South Hempstead.
- I continue to emphasize environmental issues and have been a vocal supporter of the Bay Park Conveyance Project, which is set to come online soon and will address severe pollution that has long plagued Freeport’s Reynolds Channel.
- As a member of the Legislature’s Public Safety committee, I continue to advocate for proper resourcing for Nassau police; fight for solutions to the ongoing detective shortage, and champion mental health resources for law enforcement and first responders.
