Goetz, 38, of Locust Valley, is a registered Republican and is running on the Republican and Conservative party lines in the general election. She is seeking a third term.
She has been a deputy Nassau County attorney and has also worked as an assistant town attorney in Oyster Bay.
Goetz received her law degree from New York Law School and has a bachelor’s degree from Binghamton University.

Goetz said she has not voted to increase taxes and prioritizes strong fiscal management. She said strong bond ratings help reduce project costs and in turn save taxpayer money.
She said she supports continued investment in public safety and police and said hiring more officers helps the county maintain its ranking as the safest community in the nation.
Goetz said maintaining local control is important and that she wants local residents and officials to have a voice on development. She said that if reelected she would continue working closely with supervisors and mayors on zoning for new housing and energy projects and would push back against state mandates.
