Fredericks, 29, of Seaford, is a registered Republican and is running on the Republican and Conservative lines in the general election. This is her first bid for public office.
She has worked in the New York State Senate as a scheduler for state Sen. Patricia Canzoneri-Fitzpatrick and then as a regional coordinator for the Republican caucus.
Fredericks has a bachelor’s degree in international relations from the University of Delaware and a master’s degree in government and politics from St. John’s University.

Fredericks said that if elected, she would focus on cutting taxes to make New York more affordable for young people to help keep them from leaving the state.
She said she would work to roll back some of the state law enforcement changes enacted in 2020, specifically the elimination of bail for some crimes. She said she supports reducing the number of offenses eligible for cashless bail.
Fredericks said she would protect municipal zoning laws and work to ensure residents always have input into the development of new housing.
