Nassau County Legislator Seth I. Koslow (D – Merrick) was sworn for his first term representing the residents of the Fifth Legislative District during inaugural ceremonies held on Friday, Jan. 5.

The newly reapportioned 5th Legislative District encompasses most of the communities of Freeport and Merrick as well as portions of North Merrick and North Bellmore.

With his family, friends and supporters looking on, Legislator Koslow and his Minority Caucus colleagues were sworn in by former Nassau County Legislature Minority Leader Kevan M. Abrahams.

“As I begin my first term at the Legislature, I do so with tremendous gratitude that the voters have entrusted me with the responsibility of advocating for them on the issues that matter most in our lives,” Koslow said. “As the newly-elected representative for one of the most diverse districts in the county, I will fight to ensure communities that are traditionally excluded from the policy process get a seat at the table and a piece of the pie.”
