My First Vote for County Executive
As a senior in college, I often find myself asking this tough question: what comes next? I fear that living and working in Nassau County is quickly becoming an untenable option for college graduates and young professionals.

However, I find myself in a very unique position this time around. Although Nahum is seeking re-election to retain his seat that he has held for the past 6 years, the dynamics that surround this election are quite different than in previous elections. Allow me to explain.
