Welcome, Friends and Neighbors!

 

Thank you for visiting my website as I run for North Hempstead Town Council in District 4.  I am excited to introduce myself and to meet each and every one of you!

 

I was raised on the North Shore, and when it came time to raise my family, we returned because it has always been home. It is people like you who make this District and the Town the wonderful place it is today.

​

My parents were political refugees who settled on Long Island with nothing but their values and worth ethic, and a dream that could only take root in America. These are the same values and work ethic, coupled with the skills I have gained in the corporate and non-profit world, that I bring to everything I do.

​

I was a first-generation college student, and it has always been important to me not to take my education at the University of Chicago and Georgetown University Law Center for granted. After graduation, I threw myself into the fast-paced life of a corporate attorney, negotiating large and cutting-edge financing transactions. After 13 years, and the birth of two children, my life transitioned to allow me to focus more of my time on family.

 

During this time, I also focused on working within the community, honing the important skills that I bring to government. I focused on responsible development through the Kensington Zoning Board of Appeals, on creating innovative and quality programming and running a large non-profit as a Vice President of Temple Israel of Great Neck and becoming co-founder and co-president of North Shore Action to advocate for a variety of local issues that affect our community. 

 

Because of this non-partisan work in the community, my skills in business and the law, and my ability to understand the needs of diverse constituencies, I was unanimously appointed a Councilwoman for District 4 in the Town of North Hempstead.  Every day, I work with the people who maintain our strong community and make it even better through caring, fiscal responsibility, community advocacy, and respect for our environment.

 

I look forward to continuing to serve you, which is why I am running for the North Hempstead Town Council representing District 4 including Allenwood, Great Neck, Great Neck Gardens, Kensington, Kings Point, Manhasset, North Hills, Roslyn, Roslyn Estates, and Thomaston.

 

Thank you for your support – I hope to see you in the many parks that distinguish our Town, at the train station, having lunch in the many fantastic restaurants, or at one of the many events in our community!

 

Your friend,

 

Veronica
