Curran lost her job as Nassau County executive in the massive red wave that swept Long Island on Election Day in 2021, which, among other things, saw Republicans sweep every executive office in the county and take control of the DA's office and county legislature in neighboring Suffolk County.
Republicans haven't won the county in a presidential election since 1988, although Long Island as a whole was open to Trump's message in 2016.
Trump was the first Republican since George H. W. Bush in 1988 to carry the combined vote of the two counties.
Tom Suozzi, the Democrats' last Nassau County executive and now a congressman on the North Shore, has abandoned any hope of reelection and is instead running for governor.
I've seen "Let's Go Brandon" signs around my own Nassau County neighborhood.
Curran has elsewhere blamed her loss in good part on the backlash against New York's progressive bail reform, which was a key issue in the Nassau D.A. race.
Curran's Republican replacement, Bruce Blakeman, is already feuding with Kathy Hochul over Covid restrictions, and today issued an executive order allowing Nassau schools to defy Hochul's mask mandate.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
