Nassau County proved yet again to be a Republican stronghold as a majority of its elected seats were secured by Republican candidates this past election night, including the presidency for the first time in nearly 40 years. But the county is mainly represented by two House members, and both those seats were filled with Democrats that same night.
Rep. Tom Suozzi, one of the Democratic House members elected to represent northern parts of Nassau County who flipped the seat back to blue in the February special election, attributed his win in spite of the red shift to his campaign’s messaging: pushing common sense issues, focusing on core Democratic values and rejecting far-left “distractions.”
