Top 3 Issues:
Law enforcement: Protect public safety by hiring more police officers, increasing police presence in our community, supporting first responders, and ensuring law enforcement has the resources to fight crime.
Taxes: Support tax freeze budgets and ensure fiscal responsibility so Nassau residents can keep more of their hard-earned money.
Protecting the suburbs: Safeguard neighborhood character and quality of life by opposing policies that would urbanize local communities, such as Gov. Hochul’s high-density housing plan that would allow towering apartments on residential streets.
