Campaign promises are easy, but governing requires focus to succeed. Compare Blakeman’s promises to what he has actually done. You will see the gap between rhetoric and reality, and how politics comes before public service. Nassau residents deserve leadership that is focused on their needs — not personal ambition.

Thank you for helping to make us the best place to live in all of New York.
