Gillen declares victory in C.D. 4 Honoring Canzoneri-Fitzpatrick, Ra and Solages win re-election By STAFF REPoRT Democratic challenger Laura Gillen declared victory over incumbent Republican Anthony D’Esposito on Tuesday night in the race in Congressional District 4. Gillen, a former Hempstead town supervisor, ran on promises to improve infrastructure and protect health care access. Tackling the cost of living and restoring the state and local tax deduction on income taxes were also part of her platform. “The coordinated campaign that we put together — we knocked on 300,000 doors, we made over 600,00 phone calls, and we put together a campaign that was a winning game that we will emulate in the years to come,” Gillen said. D’Esposito, who was seeking his second term, campaigned on a platform focused on public safety and lowering taxes. He took a strong stance on supporting Israel and said border security was a major issue. Re p u b l i c a n i n c u m b e n t Patricia Canzoneri-Fitzpatrick retained her State Senate District 9 seat over Democrat James Lynch.

She stressed that the police need more funding and training, and noted that bail reform and giving judges more discretion remains on her agenda. Ed Ra will return to Albany, as the Republican beat back the challenge of Democrat Sanjeev Jindal in Assembly District 19. “Thank you all for getting out there and showing how red Nassau County can be,” Ra said in his victory speech Tuesday night, “so that we can continue to fight for you in
Albany.” Democrat Michaelle Solages earned her sixth term in the Assembly, defeating Republican Ian Bergstrom in A.D. 22. Solages had highlighted her legislative success helping to get the hospital pricing transparency bill signed into law last year, along with focusing on curbing infant deaths, an issue for low-income families. Prop 1, which aimed to add protections against discrimination to the state Constitution won overwhelming approval.
