Hempstead Supervisor John Ferretti declares victory

Hempstead Town Supervisor John Ferretti declared victory in his race for the seat over Joe Scianablo. 

“This was a victory for all of us. We sent the message to New York City that there’s a big red line between New York City and the Town of Hempstead … and we will never, never let socialists take over our Town of Hempstead,” Ferretti said at the Nassau County GOP watch party. 

Scianablo said the results were “a little bit of a disappointment for me,” but told Newsday, “We’re definitely entertaining running again next year.”

“I believe we need to hold people accountable, especially elected officials. I also believe that political insiders should not be taking care of themselves and the people should be put first all of the time. That’s what I plan on continuing to do no matter what,” he said.
