Nassau County Legislator - 13th District

LIBERTARIAN

• Gutowitz vowed, if elected, to fight tax increases and “do my best” to cut spending.
• He is a proponent of ranked-choice voting, an electoral system in which voters rank preference on their ballots, which he called “a much more democratic way of electing candidates” because it “eliminates the idea that a vote for an independent or third-party candidate is a waste.”
• He said that he would work to end the use of red-light cameras, which he called “dangerous, unconstitutional surveillance” by the government.

REPUBLICAN

McKevitt, 48, of East Meadow, is running on the Republican, Conservative and Independence party lines. He is seeking his second two-year term on the Nassau County Legislature. He previously represented state Assembly District 17 from 2006 to 2017.

• McKevitt said that he supported “transparency” in the reassessment process by voting for a bill requiring tax impact statements be mailed to property owners.
• He voted for the county Capital Improvement Plan, which is repaving Carman Avenue and other county roads in his district.
• He said he has organized drug take-back programs and training in administering the opioid overdose antidote Narcan.

DEMOCRATIC

Rosenkrantz, 46, is running on the Democratic and Working Families party lines. Rosenkrantz, a matrimonial and family lawyer, is making her first run for public office.

• Rosenkrantz said she will “fully support” County Executive Laura Curran’s efforts to implement a correct assessment system.
• She said she will seek funding to revitalize downtown areas and develop workforce housing near transportation.
• She said she will continue to support funding the education and prevention resources to address the opioid crisis.
