Norber sworn in despite election controversy

Assemblyman Daniel Norber was sworn into his seat on Jan. 1 despite controversy after his victory last fall over whether or not he violated state election law.

Norber became the first member of the minority Republican Party in the Assembly to represent the 16th District, which includes Great Neck, North Hills, parts of Roslyn, Manhasset, and Port Washington in more than 50 years.

“As your assemblyman, I’m ready to tackle pressing challenges for Long Island residents,” said Norber. “The rise in crime, driven by lax bail laws and the flood of synthetic opioids into our communities, are devastating families. We must fund our police, stop the inflow of dangerous drugs and keep illegal guns off our streets.”
