Lauren Doddato-Goldman, Council Member, City of Long Beach

REPUBLICAN

Doddato-Goldman, 40, is running on the Republican, Conservative and Independence party lines on a ticket with Michael Delury and Anissa Moore. She is an attorney and has been a law clerk since 2015 to Nassau County Judge Terence Murphy. She is a former Nassau County assistant district attorney and defense attorney. She has lived in Long Beach for five years.

ISSUES:

• She said she wants to make revisions to the city charter to give more power to the city council to govern the city. 
• She said different departments need to be held accountable by posting each budget and all contracts online.
• She said the city needs to make a clear policy to restrict payments for unused accrued time and a thorough investigation to recoup excessive separation payments.
