Carrié Solages, 4th Congressional District
CARRIÉ SOLAGES
DEMOCRAT
BACKGROUND: Solages, 43, of Lawrence, has served six two-year terms in the Nassau County Legislature representing the Third District. A former assistant district attorney in the Bronx, Solages holds a Bachelor’s Degree from Georgetown University’s School of Foreign Service and a law degree from Boston College Law School. He is an attorney with a private law practice based in Elmont. His sister is New York State Assemb. Michaelle Solages (D-Elmont). In 2018, Solages resolved a domestic violence case involving his arrest for allegedly assaulting his son’s mother and endangering her teenage daughter, by admitting to reduced charges of disorderly conduct. He was required to complete a 26-week batterer intervention program and undergo drug testing under a plea deal in which two misdemeanor charges were reduced to noncriminal violations.
ISSUES: Solages says he wants to set up a targeted fund to help small, minority and woman-owned businesses recover from the COVID-19 pandemic. He said he would seek to allocate additional funding to the David S. Mack Center for Training and Intelligence in Garden City to pay for law enforcement sensitivity training focused on the mentally ill. He said he would call for a public safety study for the Fourth Congressional District, including juvenile criminal justice policies. He also has proposed creation of an international marketing program against nuclear weapons and chemical warfare.
