Baldwin voters let their voices be heard Tuesday night.
Republican Bruce Blakeman declared victory, based on unofficial results as of midnight, to secure another term as Nassau County executive, defeating Democrat Seth Koslow, 54 to 46 percent. Blakeman campaigned on public safety, fiscal restraint and quality-of-life issues.
“I want to thank the men and women of Nassau County for giving us all your trust,” Blakeman said. “If not for the people of Nassau County coming out the way they did, we wouldn’t have had the tremendous result we had tonight.”
Debra Mulé, the incumbent Nassau County legislator in the 6th District, was projected to win a fifth term, over Republican Danielle Smikle, with 65 percent of the vote. Mulė’s campaign focused on strengthening infrastructure and improving community spaces.
“Thank you for the honor of once again representing . . . District 6,” Mulė told Herald reporters. “I promise to always do my best to provide the best services for my constituents.”
In the Town of Hempstead, John Ferretti, who was appointed supervisor in August, was elected to a full term. He was projected to defeat Democratic challenger Joseph Scianablo, 53 percent to 47 percent.
“Our position on the issues that face Hempstead residents, Nassau County residents — we’re on the right side of every one of them,” Ferretti said.
