Enough of the Presidential Election Talk - What About the Local Elections??

You know it just dawned on me that we've got the local elections too and well, I'm embarrassed to say but I know NOTHING about the candidates! Chat Icon

These politicians are very important as well as these are the lawmakers who affect our day to day lives.

I think in light of the presidential elections we've forgotten about our local government elections.

Can anyone elighten me? Chat Icon Chat Icon

Yep I posted this last week, but did not really get much response.

I am new to LI and would love to hear people thoughts on the local elections & candidates.

Its definitely an issue when the Presidental election is the focus. All the plans that are proposed are only proposals until they are passed by congress.

Thats why I am voting for Stalzer for 2nd District in Congress. He is a normal business man that wants change.

Its a pain to find out who is running in your district so I added an easy to use link:

US Elections

NEwsday had articles about both the State Assembly and State Senate. These are 2 yr terms and have much more of an impact on issues such as taxes and education. News 12 has also been airing debates.

It's funny you mention the debates on News12, I just saw one over the weekend which is what sparked this question.

I'm going to see if news12 has any info on a debate between Tim Bishop and Lee Zeldin the candidates for my district.
