EDITOR’S NOTE

JON LENTZ Editor-in-chief

IN 2015, two up-and-coming lawmakers were elevated to the state Legislature’s top posts. In February, Carl Heastie was elected to replace Sheldon Silver as Assembly speaker after federal prosecutors charged Silver with corruption. In May, state Senate Republicans installed John Flanagan as Senate majority leader to replace Dean Skelos, who stepped aside while facing his own federal corruption charges. Flanagan and Heastie have both performed capably, helping their conferences move past the scandals. But unlike governors, who come into office at the height of their powers, it takes years for legislative leaders to earn the trust of rank-and-file lawmakers and master the art of negotiating. “There’s a difference between consolidating power, which can happen right away by simply putting together a winning coalition, and actually cementing it, which involves earning and reaffirming loyalties by delivering legislation and money that individual members need – and of course protecting them if they should face a close election, particularly a primary,” Lawrence Levy, the executive dean of Hofstra University’s National Center for Suburban Studies, told City & State in 2015. Last year, however, Flanagan failed to protect enough state Senate Republicans, cutting short his time as majority leader. In this week’s cover story, we recount the rise and fall of John Flanagan – and explore whether, after losing so many seats in 2018, he has a viable pathway back to power.

Latest SHAKE-UP AT THE STATE GOP After it became apparent that Erie County Republican Party Chairman Nicholas Langworthy would successfully defeat state Republican Party Chairman Ed Cox in a leadership election, Cox announced that he would not see reelection and that Langworthy would succeed him. Langworthy officially takes over in July. Meanwhile, Cox, who has led the party for over a decade, will now work on the president’s reelection campaign.

STATE MOVES ON TRUMP BILLS

On the other side of the aisle, the state Democratic Party voted to ease the rules around who can vote in party primaries. Now, someone who switches parties at least 60 days before a primary, or 25 days before a primary for someone joining the party after being unregistered, would be eligible to vote. The state party also set the presidential primary date for April 28.

The Assembly passed two bills aimed at President Donald Trump. One would allow the state Department of Taxation and Finance to give New York tax returns to certain congressional committees, while the other would enable state prosecutors to charge people pardoned by the president for similar federal crimes. Both pieces of legislation now go to Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who has expressed support for the measures, for signing.

Back & Forth The abortion rights advocacy groups say they have been pushing for the city to fund abortion care for months. By attaching your name to the effort, do you think that will help get it over the final hurdle? I hope so. I, from time to time, when I think I can be helpful, try to push initiatives. This isn’t the first time I’ve stepped out and said I do think we need a funding stream. You can’t help but be moved by what’s happening around the country, and if we can do something that’s big and precedentsetting to give women access to a safe abortion, I think we all have a responsibility to speak out.

I have many precedent-setting initiatives that I could draw upon. Perhaps something more recent then? I have many recent precedent-setting initiatives that I can draw upon. I don’t wake up and think, “Add another precedentsetting initiative.” If you go back to my time as an Assembly member, borough president and now, I don’t think that’s the issue. The issue really is, with that time that you have in government, are you making a big difference? I think that’s a different question. And I’d like to think that our office thinks in terms of some bold initiatives that can help people. That’s why we’re doing this.

Did 2021 mayoral ambitions have any impact on your thinking? To have a big, precedent-setting initiative that could set you apart?

GROWING

HAITIAN POWER FARAH LOUIS’ ELECTION TO THE NEW YORK CITY COUNCIL IS THE LATEST SIGN OF HAITIAN AMERICANS’ IMPORTANCE IN POLITICS.

BY ANNIE MCDONOUGH

FRIENDS OF FARAH LOUIS; NEW YORK CITY COUNCIL; ALI GARBER; ASSEMBLY

IN THE SPECIAL ELECTION to fill the New York City Council seat left vacant by Jumaane Williams, who was elected public advocate, former Williams staffer Farah Louis emerged victorious, proving that she didn’t need the endorsement of her former boss to win. But Louis’ election is also a sign that the political power of Haitian Americans is growing in New York. A handful of Haitian Americans have been elected to office and appointed to important posts in recent years – from the state Legislature to the New York City Council.

FARAH LOUIS

Farah Louis may have just been elected to New York City Council, but she won’t be new to the body, thanks to years working as a staffer to then-City Councilman Jumaane Williams when he held the 45th District seat. Even without Williams’ endorsement in the crowded race to replace him, Louis emerged victorious with 42% of the vote, thanks in part to a coalition of support she built from both Haitian Americans and Orthodox Jewish voters.

MATHIEU EUGENE

Mathieu Eugene made history in 2007 when he became the first Haitian-born official elected to the New York City Council, replacing Yvette Clarke, who vacated the seat when she was elected to Congress. Eugene represents the 40th District, which includes parts of Crown Heights, Flatbush and Prospect Park in Brooklyn.

MICHAELLE SOLAGES

In 2012, Michaelle Solages became the first person of Haitian descent to be elected to the state Legislature, winning the 22nd Assembly District. Solages has spoken out against the Trump administration’s rhetoric around Haiti, demanding an apology when the president referred to Haiti, El Salvador and some African nations as “shithole countries.” Solages’ brother, Carrié, also holds political office in Nassau County, where he serves as a county legislator.

MATHYLDE FRONTUS

Mathylde Frontus was elected in 2018 to represent Coney Island and Sea Gate in the 46th Assembly District. Pamela Harris, the assemblywoman who previously held the seat, resigned from office and was convicted of wire fraud. Frontus, the daughter of Haitian immigrants, became the fifth Haitian American elected to the Assembly.

RODNEYSE BICHOTTE

Rodneyse Bichotte was elected to the Assembly in 2014, where she now represents parts of Flatbush and Prospect Park South in the 42nd Assembly District. In doing so, Bichotte became the first Haitian American from New York City elected to the Assembly. Bichotte was also named chairwoman of the Assembly’s subcommittee on minority- and womenowned businesses.

THE RISE AND FALL OF JOHN FLAN

The Republican leader lost the state Senate. Can he win it back?

N MAY 13, state Senate Minority Leader John Flanagan did something he rarely does: He sat with his conference during that day’s Senate session. Typically he spends a “tremendous amount of time on the phone,” as he puts it, but there were two reasons to be out on the Senate floor that Monday. The first was a bipartisan resolution before the chamber recognizing the life and work of Leonard Spano, a prominent Republican politician in Westchester County who died this year. A resolution on the floor in Spano’s honor presented an occasion for Flanagan to speak about his own outlook toward public life. “My mother a number of years ago gave me a picture of my father, when my father first started in the Legislature, and the poem is about your name,” said Flanagan, referring

City & State New York

to a poem printed below a framed photo of his father, former Assemblyman John J. Flanagan. “It’s basically how a father in this case passes his name to his son and the name was in good stead and it was intact at the time it was given to you and that the best thing you could do is continue that legacy.” As that day’s session wound down, the Republican conference attempted a parliamentary maneuver with a bill on the floor that would require that death certificates list any specific opioids responsible for fatal overdoses. Republicans supported the uncontroversial legislation, but they wanted to make a political statement. The GOP senators tried to tack on the Born Alive Abortion Survivors’ Protection Act, which has no chance of passing the Democratic-controlled chamber. After an attempt to attach it to the opioid legisla-

tion was rejected, Deputy Minority Leader Joseph Griffo requested that state Sen. Pamela Helming have a chance to speak. If the bill on the floor required more reporting on opioid deaths, Helming said, why not about babies who died soon after being born alive during an abortion? “The goal with both bills is to sustain life,” Helming said. Helming’s amendment was swiftly voted down on a party line vote and the unamended opioid legislation passed 60-0. “Not a single member of the @NYSenDems voted to protect a baby born alive during abortion,” GOP Senate spokeswoman Candice Giove tweeted. In past years, when Republicans controlled the chamber, they could have used such an amendment as leverage in negotiations with the Democratic-controlled Assembly and Gov. Andrew Cuomo. But the

balance of power shifted dramatically after the 2018 elections, when Republicans lost the state Senate, their last hold on statewide power in New York. That it happened on Flanagan’s watch was a blow to his legacy, and it was compounded by a string of political and personal challenges, including the embarrassing intraparty effort to oust him from the leadership and his personal battle with alcohol. While he ultimately held on to his post as conference leader, it’s not clear how he can return his party to power in Albany. Democrats are becoming increasingly dominant in state politics, and the Republicans’ downstate political base has shrunk. Interviews with a dozen GOP senators and party insiders suggest that Flanagan’s position as leader remains secure. But the prospects of him ever becoming majority leader again appear remote. The presidential race will likely boost turnout in 2020, and higher turnout historically benefits Democratic candidates. President Donald Trump could energize some Republican voters, but anti-Trump backlash is likely

going to be a battle to the death in the year 2020. It’s the so-called battle to the death for the future of a Republican Senate. But it’s occurring in a presidential year with higher turnout in a mobilized anti-Trump constituency.” Flanagan has not given up, despite the odds against him. “I believe we are in a situation that’s not going to be much different than it was in 2009 and 2010,” he said, “when the Democrats took over the state Senate and ran the state into fiscal ruin within less than two years.”

OLLOWING THEIR shellacking in 2018, Republicans have ruminated over their losses and reflected on how to win again in New York, a state where they have not won a statewide election since 2002. Incoming state Republican Party Chairman Nicholas Langworthy has talked about garnering more small-dollar donations, winning local races, recruiting more female candidates, attracting younger voters and, eventually, electing a Republican governor. “What hasn’t happened in the past is take a game plan to our contributors,” Langworthy told the New York Post. “We’ll reengage, reinvest to find a way forward and have a plan and change the culture in the state of New York.” While the state party is altering its approach, the most visible efforts by GOP senators to regain the majority have largely consisted of opposing what the Democrats are doing. Does the Senate Republican conference’s chances hinge on the other party screwing up? “We should never assume a position that they’re bad, or they’re not doing things right or properly,” Flanagan said. “We’re different than the people who are in the majority now. … We stand for things that are different than the majority stands for now.” Yet Flanagan argued that it’s – State Senate Minority Leader John Flanagan just a matter of time before the Democratic majority falls apart. to spur Democrats to show up at the polls “You see the infighting and the rift withas well. And if the state Senate GOP falls in the Democratic conference,” he said. short next year, they’ll have little say in Flanagan argued that disorder will break the next round of redistricting – and could out among the rank-and-file Democrats, be gerrymandered into minority status for and progressive policies will turn off swing voters on Long Island and in the Hudson years, if not decades.

that ultimately doomed the party’s chances of keeping the majority in 2010. “I’ve seen this movie before,” Flanagan said. Today, it’s the Senate GOP that is in disarray. Veteran senators like John DeFrancisco, William Larkin and John Bonacic retired in 2018, a year when opposition to Trump propelled Democrats to victory. Republicans Kemp Hannon, Elaine Phillips and Carl Marcellino were ousted, decimating the once vaunted “Long Island Nine” that had dominated the state Senate. More defections appear likely. State Sen. Chris Jacobs launched a primary campaign against Rep. Chris Collins, who narrowly won reelection last year despite being charged with securities fraud, and another Republican senator, Robert Ortt, is also among those rumored to be potential primary challengers to Collins. There have also been calls for state Sen. Fred Akshar to resign following a sex scandal, though Flanagan has said that he stands behind him. “We’re actively recruiting candidates right now,” Flanagan said. Though he did not offer any new names of who might run for the state Senate, he confirmed at least one potential comeback candidate – former state Sen. Martin Golden of Brooklyn. “Our options are open,” said Golden, who has not made a final decision about seeking his old seat. “We’ll see what happens.” The elephant in the room is Trump, who could bolster some down-ballot Republicans

in New York while hurting others. Flanagan has had an uneasy relationship with the president, whom he endorsed in 2016 only after Trump became the Republican nominee. Flanagan praises Trump for a good economy but distances himself from other parts of Trump’s record. “The stock market is essentially at an all-time high; unemployment, that’s essentially an all-time low,” Flanagan said. “I get the things that are being said about the president. I don’t have to agree with them.” In early May, the Republican leader staged a press conference in the hallway outside his office to go on the attack over two high-profile bills that Democrats planned to pass. One was an effort to allow convicted felons to serve on juries, which gave Flanagan a pretext to talk about Judith Clark, the recently paroled 69-year-old driver in a deadly 1981 robbery of a Brink’s armored truck. Law enforcement groups and the families of people killed in the robbery had protested her parole, and Senate Republicans were eager to channel the frustration by touting their “victims’ jus-

tice agenda,” a package of bills that Republicans released in response to Democrats criminal justice reforms, such as ending cash bail. “We’re doing more pro-criminal bill of rights bills that are out there,” Flanagan told City & State separately in an interview. “It’s day after day after day after day. I could give you chapter and verse on things that were wrong with the budget.” The second piece of legislation on the agenda that day aimed to change state law so that individual tax returns could be sent to congressional committees that requested them – essentially an effort to obtain Trump’s tax returns. “It’s interesting that the only discussion about taxes by the Democratic majority is to try and get the president’s taxes,” Flanagan told reporters gathered outside his office. “We should be spending our time worrying about what we can do for New Yorkers.” With just 22 seats in the 63-seat Senate, GOP senators could not stop the bills, but they did make some noise.

HE WALLS OF Flanagan’s office pay tribute to his father, a genial and physically imposing assemblyman who represented Long Island in the 1970s and 1980s. One photo on the wall shows a middle-aged father and a preteen son sitting next to each other in the Assembly chamber. On the opposite wall is a frame filled with campaign literature, including a pamphlet where the elder Flanagan’s name reads proudly next to the name of President Richard Nixon. The older Flanagan, a former high school biology teacher, was first elected to the Assembly in 1972, in part on a platform touting his commitment to environmental issues. He earned a reputation as a policy wonk on issues like education. His brand of politics placed him more toward the political center at a time when the GOP was moving in a more conservative direction nationwide. “I don’t like this term per se, but my father was very forward-thinking,” the younger Flanagan said. “He would have been considered progressive in what I consider a good sense.” Flanagan, who would tag along on trips to the state Capitol, said that his father was one of the most formidable debaters in the Republican conference at that time. “People would tell me when I got here, ‘Your father’s a legendary debater, my God, he always knew his stuff,’” Flanagan recalled. “I would joke around like, ‘Listen, I was on the receiving end on that.’” A 1979 battle over funding for what would become the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in Manhattan was one of many times where Flanagan used his intelligence and wit against the Democrats. “He was someone you would never welcome having to debate because he could be very effective and very sharp,” said Assemblyman Richard Gottfried, who was first elected in 1970. While the bill passed the Assembly by a comfortable margin, Republicans scored political points by asserting that the convention center would place undue burdens on residents outside New York City because state money would be used to fund it. The elder Flanagan’s promising legislative career ended in tragedy on Sept. 27, 1986, while the 50-year-old was out jogging with his wife and son at the track at

Old Field Junior High School in Greenlawn. He collapsed and was pronounced dead at Huntington Hospital. His son was working at International Paper, a paper manufacturer, at the time while finishing his law degree at Touro Law Center. After he gave a eulogy at his father’s funeral, Republican leaders saw his political potential. “It was very eloquent, heartfelt, not a dry eye in the house,” said Gyory, who heard accounts of the funeral from others. “They all felt that if it was him on the ballot, with the feelings towards the father and the family, he’d be almost impossible to beat in a special election – and in fact he was.” The younger Flanagan entered the Assembly in the 1987 freshman class that included several future leaders in state poli-

downstate Republicans were further empowered when the party resumed control. Republicans eventually needed the Independent Democratic Conference – a breakaway group of mostly downstate Democrats – to form a majority in 2013. When Skelos was hit with federal corruption charges of his own in 2015, Flanagan had the chance that he had been waiting for his whole career: leading a legislative conference. The years he spent cultivating relationships throughout the state as an assemblyman and state senator paid off. “He took his time, rising slowly through the steps until lightning struck,” said Lawrence Levy, the executive dean at the National Center for Suburban Studies at Hofstra University. “He had the long re-

BUT HE ONLY GOT A CHANCE TO MAKE HIS MARK IN THE LAST FEW YEARS – AND THAT WAS CUT SHORT BY THE LOSS OF THE MAJORITY.” – Bruce Gyory, political science professor at the University at Albany tics, including Thomas DiNapoli, who went on to become state comptroller, and Joseph Crowley, who rose through the ranks in Congress. Flanagan followed in his father’s footsteps by rising through the state ranks and cultivating a reputation as an education policy wonk. But after his first attempt at leading a conference fell short by one vote to Assemblyman Charles Nesbitt in 2002, his ambitions turned toward the Senate, where he won a seat later that year. At the time, Joseph Bruno was Senate majority leader, but the upstate lawmaker would resign in 2008 after being indicted on federal corruption charges. Though he would eventually be acquitted, Bruno was replaced by then-Sen. Dean Skelos of Long Island, giving the downstate GOP contingent the upper hand in the historical geographical divide within the party. Following the Democrats’ tumultuous, two-year period controlling the chamber in 2009-10,

lationships that in some cases spanned two generations of Flanagans (and) his positioning to be a consensus choice not just on Long Island but around the state was the result of a long service in the Legislature.” Yet once Flanagan finally reached the pinnacle, he wasn’t able to hold on for long. “John was around Long Island, and all the politics for a very long time,” said Bruce Gyory, an political science professor at the University at Albany and a Democratic political consultant. “But he only got a chance to make his mark in the last few years – and that was cut short by the loss of the majority.”

UN CONTROL ACTIVISTS were swarming Flanagan’s office. He was on their list of elected officials to target on their lobbying visit to the state Capitol on a recent Tuesday afternoon. Yet no one seemed to recognize the lanky Long Islander as he slipped

out the front door to his office down the hall from the Senate chamber. It was just minutes until the annual Police Officers Memorial begins across the street, and Flanagan was eager to keep up appearances. “I’ve got to pay my respects,” he said. In past years, Flanagan had a prime speaking slot at the annual event, which memorializes law enforcement personnel who died in the past year. Sixty-three names will be etched into a black granite memorial wall in Empire State Plaza. Their names will be read before an audience of elected officials, union leaders and police officers and their families. It is a full house this year as everyone crams into The Egg, an event space on Empire State Plaza. After Flanagan entered, Griffo, his top lieutenant, nodded from the stairs to the left where he stood alongside other Republican legislators in a room filled with hundreds of local law enforcement officers and their families. There were 31 chairs at the front for the likes of Lt. Gov. Kathy Hochul, state Sen. John Brooks – a Long Island Democrat representing Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins – and Patrick Lynch, the president of the New York City Police Benevolent Association. But there was no seat for Flanagan. He heads up the stairs, mingles with members of the police color guard and tried to find a place to stand. It was another reminder of how things have changed for Flanagan over the course of the past year. There was the loss of the Senate majority. There was the post-election leadership challenge from Catharine Young that revealed dissent among the ranks. And then there was the drinking the led him to check into rehab a few days before Christmas last year. “I wouldn’t isolate it to any one thing,” he told City & State when asked why he decided to seek treatment. Considering that his own father had died young, the 58-year-old Flanagan said it became more obvious after the election that the time had come to take better care of himself. “Somebody finds himself at a point where you’re just breathing a little harder, I feel like I put on 15 or 20 pounds,” he said. “Sometimes you may have a colleague or a friend that says, ‘How you feeling. What’s going on?’” Flanagan would miss the first month of the session, and returned to a very different state Senate. New York Republicans had hit rock bottom as a party and there is no easy path out of the political wilderness. With the menacing prospect of Democratic-led redistricting on the horizon, Flanagan is leaning on the one source of strength that his political rivals could never take away from him: his father. The former assemblyman continues to be a “role model, hero, all that kind of stuff,” Flanagan said. “That’s never changed.”

LONG ISLAND POWER

LONG ISLAND isn’t short on political clout. The region has its share of high-profile New York power brokers, from Rep. Pete King to state Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli. The island long held outsized sway in the state Senate, with Republican leaders like Dean Skelos and John Flanagan controlling the upper house in recent years – and upsets on the island paving the way for Democrats to seize control of the chamber in 2018. The elected executives of Nassau and Suffolk counties – hailing from different parties at times – have been important allies of the governor. Other politicians – members of Congress, state lawmakers, county legislators and town supervisors – all play pivotal roles as well.

That’s why we’re doubling the length of this list and bolstering it with top elected officials and high-ranking government employees, who were all left off last year’s Long Island Power 50. We’ve reached out to insiders and experts to compile this list of local movers and shakers, considering records, political influence, business acumen, philanthropic efforts and the constituencies each individual represents. Once again, we partnered on this project with Jennifer Solomon, a communications professional who used her expertise and insights to help assemble a truly impressive list: the Long Island Power 100.

GOVERNOR

IN A region known for its layers

HANS PENNINK/AP/SHUTTERSTOCK

of government, Long Islanders know there is one politician who sits above them all: Gov. Andrew Cuomo. Cuomo has a complicated relationship with Long Islanders, bestowing a permanent property tax cap on one hand and serving them with congestion pricing in the other. His support of the Long Island Rail Road will be part of his legacy, as he has delivered projects and funding that are transforming the 185-year-old system by updating crumbling stations, adding tracks in strategic locations and investing in – if not completing – the East Side Access project to connect Long Islanders directly to Grand Central Terminal. The downside is that the newly passed congestion pricing plan is expected to disproportionately impact Long Islanders, with most of those funds slated to update New York City’s subways. Cuomo’s opposition to offshore drilling and his tangible support for offshore wind, funds for clean water infrastructure and sewers are all key Long Island-centric priorities – and demonstrate his ability to deliver on quality-of-life issues impacting the region.

2 CHARLES SCHUMER

U.S. SENATOR

U.S. SEN. CHARLES SCHUMER may technically be from Brooklyn, but his regular presence on Long Island and his ability to own niche community issues have earned him local credibility. No matter the climate in Washington, D.C., Long Islanders can count on Schumer’s support for the Long Island Sound, the local fishing industries, three airports and infrastructure funding of all kinds. Schumer was a key player in Canon’s decision to build its headquarters in Melville, where it now employs more than 1,000 people, and he recently came out against a new National Flood Insurance plan that he says would unfairly impact Long Island coastal communities, some of which are still rebuilding from Superstorm Sandy. As Senate minority leader, Schumer is one of the more powerful people in the nation, with the ability to negotiate meaningful wins for the region and state. His role gives him some power within the New York delegation, where he continues to shine as a pragmatic dealmaker who delivers for the families of Nassau and Suffolk counties.

3 PETE KING

CONGRESSMAN

HAVING BEEN in office for more than a quarter century, Rep. Pete King is one of Long Island’s longest-serving politicians. An establishment Republican with a hawkish stance on national defense matters and a seat on the Homeland Security Committee, King has also become an ally of President Donald Trump. His support of the law enforcement community and his outrage at the region’s gang problem played a role in Trump’s visit to speak at the Morrelly Homeland Security Center in Bethpage last spring. On other Long Island issues, King’s been unafraid to ruffle feathers in Washington when advocating for funding Superstorm Sandy recovery and 9/11 victim compensation, and when opposing the new cap on state and local tax deductions. He has a history of bipartisanship on issues concerning Long Island’s North Shore and protecting the Long Island Sound, while remaining true to his Republican roots on issues like abortion and immigration. Amid the “blue wave” in 2018, King fought off a challenge by winning another term with a surprisingly narrow 53% of the vote.

4 STEVE BELLONE

SUFFOLK COUNTY EXECUTIVE SUFFOLK COUNTY EXECUTIVE Steve Bellone is a

veteran of Long Island politics, having served in local office since the age of 28. After rising through the ranks in Babylon as councilman and supervisor, Bellone successfully ran for the county’s top position in 2011. Throughout his career, his signature issue has been sustainable and transit-oriented economic development, with a focus on energy-efficient building, underserved communities and clean water infrastructure. His legacy projects include Wyandanch Rising, the Ronkonkoma Hub and “Connect Long Island,” a vision to weave Suffolk County’s downtowns together with a comprehensive transit plan. Bellone touts the county’s “slow and steady march” to fiscal recovery from the $500 million deficit he inherited, as well as progress in combating the MS-13 gang and increasing the number of narcotics search warrants in response to the opioid epidemic. He’s considered the front-runner for his upcoming reelection bid, but an increasingly crowded field of Republican challengers are pointing to “fiscal mismanagement” in hopes of ousting him before he’s sworn in for a third term.

Executive Laura Curran is living up to her campaign promise to reform county government, starting with a “zero tolerance” order on gift-giving. Some of her signature accomplishments to date include property tax reform, which was badly needed in the county, as well as a massive overhaul of Nassau University Medical Center, resulting in more than $2 million in savings. Curran has also made strides on economic development in Nassau County. The Nassau Hub project, which has been debated and delayed for decades, was finally approved under her watch and is expected to move forward, bringing jobs, entertainment and housing to the area around Nassau Coliseum. Her vision to make Nassau County a destination also includes a new downtown-like community in Belmont, with a new arena for the New York Islanders to call home. As the first woman to hold this office, Curran also pledged to hire women for about half of the county’s 21 top jobs.

Hempstead also recently approved $28 million in bonds for the school, which has plans to expand.

interest in politics isn’t new, but he may take it to the next level after floating his name as a possible challenger to Rep. Thomas Suozzi. The longtime Democratic National Committee member has had a long career as one of Long Island’s top branding and crisis management experts, with clients like Verizon, Canon and Lockheed Martin. President Barack Obama, Gov. Andrew Cuomo and President Bill Clinton have sought his counsel as well.

ADRIENNE ESPOSITO

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR CITIZENS CAMPAIGN FOR THE ENVIRONMENT ADRIENNE ESPOSITO has been one of Long Island’s most tenacious environmental advocates for years, but with the new Democratic majority in Albany, she’s been churning out wins left and right. She started 2019 lobbying hard for a new food scrap recycling program, water filtration systems and a ban on plastic bags – all of which were included in the state budget. She’s since turned toward Southampton to fight groundwater contamination.

veteran Shelley LaRoseArken will be piloting the Long Island airport’s multimillion-dollar expansion, which will include plans to bring in more carriers – allowing the airport to more than double its capacity – as well as upgrade its terminals. With the eventual completion of East Side Access and the Ronkonkoma Hub, MacArthur Airport is expected to play an increasingly important role in regional transit. LaRose-Arken previously worked at airports in Westchester County, Kentucky and Missouri.

BISHOP ROMAN CATHOLIC DIOCESE OF ROCKVILLE CENTRE

SUPERVISOR HUNTINGTON

SINCE JOINING the eighth-largest Catholic diocese in the nation in 2016, John Barres has presided over a Catholic population of nearly 1.5 million, as well as its affiliated education, health care and social services organizations. A social media-savvy bishop who tweets every day, Barres credits sports with influencing his decision to pursue religious life. However, he has faced criticism for sexual abuse within the Catholic Church, including misconduct that allegedly occurred on his watch.

as supervisor of Huntington after five years in the Assembly, Chad Lupinacci has worked to elevate the town’s visibility as a local destination by supporting the Huntington Village Hotel development and pushing for more parking. The town board recently passed several bonds for improvements to the Flanagan Senior Center, among other upgrades. In December, a former aide accused Lupinacci of sexual harassment and sexual assault.

She’s taken up issues like school governance and funding, transparency for the Long Island Rail Road and pushing back against the legalization of marijuana.

An attorney who has participated in volunteer missions to China, Southeast Asia and the Middle East, Gillen is the first Democrat to lead Hempstead (population 760,000) in more than a century, and one of only two Democrats on the current town board. Her first year in office included bringing a lawsuit against the town board and former Supervisor Anthony Santino.

KEVIN THOMAS

STATE SENATOR

LAST NOVEMBER, no one predicted Kevin Thomas’s

electoral win against state Sen. Kemp Hannon, who had been in office for 29 years. But Thomas eventually secured the seat – along with the state Senate majority – becoming the first Indian American to win a seat in the state Legislature. Though Thomas didn’t receive much help from the state Democratic Party in the 2018 cycle, you can expect him to be a high priority in 2020.

STATE SENATOR

wood High School and former member of the Suffolk County Police Department, Phil Ramos was elected to the Assembly in 2002. Ramos is a longtime advocate for the Brentwood community and recently helped secure $20 million in state funding for a new community center, more law enforcement resources and youth programming.

KEVAN ABRAHAMS

in 2002 as the youngest lawmaker ever elected to the Nassau County Legislature, Kevan Abrahams has prioritized the stabilization of property taxes, preventing gang violence and funding after-school programs. With an eye on public safety, he has called for legislation requiring background checks for hotel workers and safe gun storage laws. A former deputy finance director for the Nassau County Legislature, Abrahams is considered a potential primary challenger to Rep. Kathleen Rice.

ERIN KING SWEENEY

Sweeney has been, by turns, a partner and a foe to Supervisor Laura Gillen. King Sweeney, who has been on the town board since 2015, is the Republican majority leader in a town with a 5-2 split – meaning Gillen can’t accomplish much without her votes. Considering their complicated history, it’s noteworthy that they are now working together to halt the sale of recreational marijuana and pass ethics reforms.

ROBERT CATELL

Who was up and who was down last week

LOSERS

DIGITAL Digital Director Derek Evers devers@cityandstateny.com, Digital Content Coordinator Michael Filippi, Social Media Editor/Content Producer Amanda Luz Henning Santiago

ED COX How the high-born have fallen. Descended from multiple prominent WASP families and married to Richard Nixon’s daughter, Ed Cox was an avatar of the New York Republican establishment. Now, after saying he would fight to keep his job as state party chairman – despite an unbroken string of electoral defeats – he is finally stepping aside, succumbing to the Trumpification of the state GOP, and joining Trump’s reelection effort.

THE BEST OF THE REST

THE REST OF THE WORST

THOMAS ABINANTI & KEVIN PARKER

JOHN BARRES

The state legislators took a shot at banning 3D-printed guns and hit their mark.

MEGAN MAGRAY FOR CABÁN FOR QUEENS; SUBMITTED

TIFFANY CABÁN This Queens DA candidate was already leaning so far left she was in danger of toppling over. Then noted comic book superhero AOC (the secret alias of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez) flew in to prop up Cabán with an endorsement. National money and increased excitement may follow, setting up the race as another big test for the Bernie-born progressive movement in Queens – even if the congresswoman tries to play it cool.

OUR PICK

WINNERS

When he was governor of New Jersey, Chris Christie was known for his love of Bruce Springsteen’s music. When he was president, Barack Obama shared a playlist featuring musical luminaries like Bob Dylan, Aretha Franklin and Bob Marley along with contemporary artists like John Legend and Justin Timberlake. Last week, we learned that New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio has a thing for … ska? But that’s not why he landed on last week’s Winners & Losers list.
