Republicans Projected to Keep Majority in Nassau County Legislature
With approximately 76% of countywide votes counted, the Nassau County Legislature is expected to stay under Republican control, with a likely division of 11 Republicans and 8 Democrats.
At present, Republicans hold an 11-7 advantage, with one seat vacant since former District 15 legislator John Ferretti resigned to become Hempstead town supervisor.
Before Ferretti’s departure, the Legislature had a 12-7 Republican majority. Following Tuesday night’s election, Democrats succeeded in flipping one district — District 14 — marking a modest gain for the party.
“The Nassau County Legislature is composed of 19 legislators representing the county’s 19 districts.”
