Moshe Hill is the Republican candidate for the Nassau County Legislature in the 5th District, seeking the seat after previously running for the Legislature while continuing his involvement in his hometown of West Hempstead.
Born and raised there, Hill, 40, returned in 2017 with his family after moving away in 2010. Since his return, he has become involved in community and political organizations including NORPAC, a pro-Israel advocacy organization. He has also worked as a political analyst, writing for newspapers and other publications while appearing on radio and other media.
“I think I would be the best representative for the needs in the Nassau County Legislature,” Hill said.
Hill currently works in the inspector department for the Nassau County Board of Elections, assisting with computers, reports and election staffing. He worked at B&H Electronics for 11 years, as a business analyst and project manager. That experience, he said, taught him how to connect stakeholders, communicate effectively and coordinate projects.
Hill also said he learned from his 2025 campaign for the Legislature. This time around, he said, he is focused on expanding his outreach while maintaining many of the same priorities.
Among those priorities are infrastructure, taxes, public safety and quality-of-life issues. Hill wants to keep county taxes from increasing while improving roads, traffic signals and other infrastructure, he said.
“We need to make sure that we stay the safest county in the country,” he said.
Hill pointed to the installation of a traffic signal at Woodfield Road and Linden Street, in West Hempstead, as a community improvement he advocated for. The intersection, he said, had a history of serious accidents, which concerned him because his mother regularly crossed those streets while commuting to work.
Antisemitism is another focus for Hill. While online rhetoric remains a concern, he said, he has seen less antisemitic activity on county streets than he did after Hamas’s attack on Israel on Oct. 7, 2023. He said he wants to continue speaking with school districts about offering educational discussions on antisemitism and the history of conflicts involving Jewish communities.
Hill has also been involved in community efforts involving the former Capri Motor Inn and cleanups at Halls Pond Park. Those efforts, he said, reflect his focus on quality-of-life concerns in West Hempstead and surrounding communities.
On the subject of development, Hill said he supports balancing new housing with maintaining suburban neighborhoods. He identified the Nassau Coliseum property as an opportunity for business, technology, aviation and, potentially, housing, while acknowledging concerns about infrastructure and congestion that could accompany development.
If he is not elected, Hill said, he plans to continue his involvement in NORPAC, and to maintain his relationships with government officials and other local organizations. But, he said, “If you’re looking to keep your streets safe, keep your taxes low, if you want to make sure that your infrastructure is holding up and see improvements around your community, then I’m the best person for that.”
