Marsha F. Silverman, Council Member, City of Glen Cove

MARSHA F. SILVERMAN

Democratic

BACKGROUND:

• Silverman, 50, who has served on the city council since 2018, is also running on the Working Families Party line.
• Silverman works in financial data analytics and received her undergraduate degree in economics from Haverford College and a master's in business administration from New York University's Stern School of Business.

ISSUES:

• Silverman said the most important issue is that the city make long-term financial plans for its operating and capital spending to "make sure that we're not making shortsighted decisions and doing a longer-term look of what this city needs," including infrastructure to support continued growth.
• Silverman said tax breaks should not be given to residential property developers and said incentives should be used to help only companies that create jobs and stimulate the local economy.
• She said the city should look to partnerships to help build public facilities like pools or a skate park.
