To all who volunteered, donated, and welcomed me into your lives and communities, thank you so much. The relationships forged and people engaged by our efforts will have an impact far beyond any one race.

@Newsday
story is part of a long pattern of corruption for 40-year politician Ed Romaine.
Romaine took a fortune from the waste industry. Then, he sided with donors over communities as the Landfill polluted our groundwater. We can't trust Ed Romaine.
We had an energizing weekend! Thank you to everyone who has volunteered their time to knock doors, make calls or send texts their. Tm is election day— will you join us by letting your friends & neighbors know how important this year’s election is? YOU could be the deciding vote!
As the GOP selects the most socially conservative Speaker since Jim Crow, an important reminder that all politics starts local.
Take it from
@Suffolk_NOW
: in Suffolk County, we can't let anti-abortion extremists take over our County in November. Make sure to VOTE!
It’s Election Day, and we are rallying volunteers from across Suffolk County who are all hitting doors and reminding voters to get out and vote today!
Polls are open until 9 tonight. Can we count on you to go vote to move
#SuffolkForward
?
The GOP-led County Legislature stopped you from having the chance to vote for clean water on

To the ~500 people who joined, thank you for all that you do. We'll channel this enthusiasm to make Suffolk safer, more affordable, and with more opportunity, we'll move

This is how things work in Ed Romaine's Crookhaven..
1.) Romaine takes a fortune from the waste industry,
2.) Then he helps to sweep under the rug whistleblower complaints about the poisoning of our local community,
3.) Community leaders have to call for an investigation.
We're on the ballot!! Thank you to the hundreds of volunteers and organizers who helped us secure nearly 14,000 signatures -- 7 times the requirement. Now, we will take this momentum to carry our

Earlier today, I stood with community leaders and advocates to demand that the GOP-controlled county legislature allow the residents of Suffolk County to have the chance to vote to protect our water and our future...
They failed.
Honored to have

As a former prosecutor, I know what it takes to keep communities & schools safe. And as County Executive, I will utilize every resource and implement common sense solutions that prevent gun violence.
We are exactly ONE MONTH from Election Day in Suffolk County!
This November, we have a unique choice to leave behind the corruption that has poisoned Brookhaven, and instead move

But I need your help, now more than ever. Are you with me?
This is as simple as it gets.
We cannot elect somebody who sides with his donors to potentially poison a community.

As a father & son of a teacher, back to school is a magical time! As County Executive, I will make sure our schools continue to be among the best in the nation.
Wishing our students, parents, teachers, and admins a great year filled with learning, growth, and happy memories.
This is deeply frustrating. Clean water is crucial for our health, the lifeblood of our economy, and central to our way of life.
When I am County Executive, we will give voters the chance to secure our clean water future & flood our region with funding.
Don't trust lies of a 40 year career politician. If you want safe communities, trust the prosecutor, not the politician.

ICYMI last week's
@Newsday
debate.
Suffolk County needs and deserves a leader who has the background and experience to make our communities safer, more affordable and with greater opportunity. As a former prosecutor and with my background in business, I believe I am the right leader to move our region forward.
Yesterday I was proud to stand in support of
@SkylerforSenate
! Ahead of 2023, it is more important than ever for us to work to support proven leaders and new voices, giving us the representation we deserve.
In the recent Newsday investigation, it was confirmed that Brookhaven Supervisor Ed Romaine covered up reports of toxic ash from the Brookhaven Landfill. It's time for a full investigation. Join me and other community leaders for a protest & press conference and protest…
Ed Romaine released his next

The
@MrSantosNY
saga is an embarrassment for all of Long Island - and the culmination of a culture of corruption that started right here with Nancy Marks' first boss, Ed Romaine.
It's time for new leadership to move
#SuffolkForward

My heart aches for the innocent lives taken in Lewiston, Maine. It is wrong that every few weeks, another community is torn apart by gun violence.
The solutions are clear -- it's time to pass and enforce common sense gun safety laws that will protect us all.
Honored to have
@32BJSEIU
in my corner!
In the private sector, I created jobs and helped consumers save money on health care. As County Executive, I will always stand up for our nurses, caregivers, and all working families.
TODAY is the special election for Brookhaven Town Clerk, and your neighbors are counting on you to cast your vote for Lisa Di Santo. The Clerk is the protector of democracy in our town, and Lisa is an experienced educator and community leader we can trust. Please, vote TODAY.
I am a businessman & prosecutor, and have won a national award for cutting red tape in Suffolk. I'm running against a 40-year politician who has raised taxes 8 of the past 8 years. I'm your candidate to to fight crime, create jobs, and make Suffolk more affordable.

Congratulations to the Brookhaven NAACP on a successful and memorable Dinner! I was particularly glad to celebrate the trailblazers honored for their work in the community: Brookhaven Landfill Action and Remediation Group, Thanya Jean, Chayce Chalmers, & the NAACP Stony Brook.
Rain or shine now is our chance to protect water, secure safety, and improve affordability in Suffolk County. We’re everywhere, making sure our neighbors vote in 16 days!

One of the most fulfilling things I have done as a father is coach my kids’ sports teams. I coached my son’s travel baseball team in leagues and tournaments across LI & it has given me a chance to spend time with him and also get to know so many great kids from throughout Suffolk
Mr. Santos should have resigned a long time ago, and his refusal to do so is a sign of the corruption that has long plagued our area. As a prosecutor, I took on corrupt fraudsters stealing from taxpayers, and I support those working to hold Santos accountable.

Another

scandal. Under Romaine’s failed leadership, he's:
❌ Subjected pets to “mold and exposed wire," and drains "clogged with feces and debris"
❌ Failed 3 state inspections after ignoring volunteer cries
❌Sided with donors, potentially poisoning the community
Just got off the stage from the

Today is the 1 year anniversary of the

50 years after
#Roe
affirmed the right to choose & less than a year since it was undone, I was honored to speak at today's Brookhaven rally.
We need leaders who will proudly protect reproductive rights.
We can't go back, we won't go back. Let's move

I strongly condemn the recent hateful Islamophobic attack on Connecticut State Assemblywoman Maryam Khan. This act of violence is utterly reprehensible and has no place in our society. We must stand united and firmly against all forms of discrimination and violence.
Happy Mother’s Day! And a special note of gratitude to my mom whose love and decades of service as a public school teacher have inspired my belief in public service.

This summer, my campaign recruited 20 interns from all around Suffolk County to support Democrats up and down the ballot both this year and in 2023. Thank you to our interns who made this program such a great success, helping us build a strong base for next November!

Grateful to have the support of a broad coalition including unions, community groups & national orgs. I hope I can count on your support! Have you voted yet? Early voting is open now until Nov 5 or you can vote on Election Day Nov 7, at your polling site.
