North Hempstead Town Supervisor

Bosworth, 71, of Great Neck, is running on the Democratic, Independence and Working Families lines. She is seeking her fourth term as supervisor after serving six years in the Nassau County legislature and 16 years on the Great Neck Public Schools Board of Education.

• Bosworth said North Hempstead is “in good financial standing,” citing the town’s Aaa bond rating, the highest a municipality can get from Moody’s Investors Service.
• She described herself as “a consensus builder and a community leader.” After hearing that veterans had to travel long distance to get medical care, she said town officials and vets petitioned to get a community-based outpatient clinic closer to home, a push that eventually brought a mobile unit to New Hyde Park’s Clinton G. Martin Park.
• She said she will continue to work on revitalizing the vibrancy of the town’s main streets and branding North Hempstead as a destination place.

Redmond, 33, of Mineola, is running on the Republican, Conservative and Libertarian party lines. He works for the Nassau County Board of Elections and is a returning candidate who lost a race for town clerk in November 2017.

• Redmond said his administration would manage town projects better and select the right contractors for capital projects, avoiding the “error” the town made with Gramercy Group Inc., a Wantagh-based contractor North Hempstead hired in 2017 to renovate a Clinton G. Martin Park pool.
• Redmond said “more competent management” would generate savings, which he would propose to spend on expanding outreach programs for seniors, veterans and people who struggle with substance abuse.
• He said he would work to retain town staff in leadership positions so that “no one leaves after four months,” referring to former Highway Superintendent Richard Baker, who resigned in July.
