Hempstead Town Supervisor John Ferretti, who is running for election after being appointed to the seat in August after his predecessor resigned, said he was feeling hopeful on Tuesday night.

"I’m feeling confident," he said, speaking to Newsday at the Nassau GOP election watch party in Baldwin. "Opposing everything Zohran Mamdani stands for ... that resonated with voters."

The New York City mayoral race is "a pivotal reason why we’re having a large turnout," Ferretti said. Nassau Republicans outpaced Democrats in early voting this year. While the GOP makes up 31% of active voters, they made up 43% of early votes through Sunday.
