Laura Curran Announces Re-election Bid

NASSAU COUNTY, NY — Laura Curran on Tuesday announced her re-election campaign for Nassau County executive.

Curran, a Democrat from Baldwin, made the announcement Tuesday morning on the steps of the Theodore Roosevelt Executive and Legislative Building in Mineola, surrounded by supporters.

The first woman to serve as Nassau County executive, she is serving her first term, which began in 2018.

“I am so grateful to Nassau voters for putting their trust in me nearly four years ago. Since then, we have accomplished incredible things, making Nassau a better and safer place to live," Curran said. "It has been a difficult year, no doubt — but Nassau communities answered the pandemic with compassion, resolve and common sense. In addressing this crisis, I worked every day to live up to the example set by our residents. With the success of my administration’s vaccination program, we are now ready to tackle Nassau’s recovery head on. My next four years will offer more than a return to normal. Together, we will invest in Nassau’s future, create thousands of new jobs, and write Nassau's next chapter.”

Prior to being elected county executive, Curran served in the Nassau County Legislature from 2014 through 2017.

In addition to Curran, the top of the ticket for Nassau County Democrats includes Ryan Cronin for county comptroller and Justin R. Brown for clerk.
