I have been actively involved in the North Hempstead community since 1975, as former president of the Herricks Board of Education, currently co-president of the Herricks Community Fund and mayor of Williston Park.
I personally feel that this upcoming election is extremely important for all residents of North Hempstead.
On Election Day, Tuesday, Nov. 7, we have the privilege and right of voting for the re-election of Town of North Hempstead Supervisor Jen DeSena.
I believe it is important for all to get out and vote for my good friend and colleague. Jen has worked extremely hard for all the constituents of North Hempstead and has been a great asset to our great Village of Williston Park.
She has been accessible, listens to our concerns and is anxious to work for all. She has had difficulty in implementing changes due to resistance from members of the Town Council.
She is bipartisan in nature and is willing to work with both “sides of the aisle,” unlike her opposition.
Jen proposed a 10% tax cut last year but her opposition held the tax cut to 5 %. When Governor Hochul pushed to take local zoning control from our village, Jen was there from the start to push back on the unacceptable plan, which had the possibility of restricting and changing the character of our village and surrounding communities.
Because of her concerns and efforts to help keep Nassau County, the “Safest County in the Country,” she has received the endorsement of every major Nassau Country law enforcement union.
She understands the distinctive character of Nassau County communities, especially when dealing with Villages, including the Village of Williston Park.
She is a bright, articulate individual with the determination to move the Town of North Hempstead forward.
I ask all to get out and vote for the re-election of Jen DeSena and her running mate Mary Jo Collins for Receiver of Taxes.
Their election will provide North Hempstead with positive leadership during these challenging times.
Please cast your vote on Nov. 7 for North Hempstead Supervisor Jen DeSena and Receiver of Taxes, Mary Jo Collins, Jim Gounaris for Town Council and Ed Scott for Town Council
Paul Ehrbar, Mayor
Village of Williston Park
Early voting will take place between Oct. 28 and Nov. 5.
