Former NFL player Noah Burroughs is leveraging his platform and passion for public service to improve his hometown of Hempstead. The 18th District New York State Assembly candidate is focused on transforming the community through initiatives in education, housing, and infrastructure. The 18th District includes Baldwin, Freeport, Hempstead, Lakeview, Roosevelt and Uniondale.
Burroughs, who was born and raised in Hempstead, credits his father’s involvement in the civil rights movement as a formative influence in his commitment to community service. Growing up, Burroughs believed the country had achieved equality, but he soon realized as a teenager that disparities persisted—particularly in his own neighborhood.
