DEMOCRATIC

Hamdani, 67, is running on the Democratic, Libertarian and Working Families party lines. She is seeking her first four-year term.

ISSUES:

  • Hamdani said taxes are too high and that there is a lack of affordability. She said apartments are expensive, and there are no high-paying jobs, making it difficult for millennials to stay on Long Island.
  • She said people are complaining about potholes and more needs to be spent on roads.
  • Hamdani said recycling has become a problem. She’s pushing for same day trash and recycling pickup instead of alternative days.
