N. Hempstead led with 62-38% margin for Manhasset resident BY N O A H M A N S K A R While District Attorney-elect Madeline Singas carried all three Nassau County towns in last Tuesday’s election, Board of Elections data show North Hempstead was her biggest Democratic stronghold. While turnout was only about 20 percent, the lowest since 2011, Singas won the town by an 24-percent margin, getting 62 percent of the vote to Republican Kate Murray’s 38 percent. Within the town, Singas found her biggest pockets of support in parts of Great Neck, Garden City Park, Roslyn, Plandome Manor, Port Washington, Old Westbury and New Cassel. Singas won by a margin of more than 50 percent in 50 election districts in those areas, including all of the villages of Thomaston, Great Neck Plaza, Great Neck Gardens, Plandome Manor, Roslyn Harbor and Roslyn Estates. Singas, a resident of Manhas-
set, had margins of victory between 35 and 45 percent in the areas surrounding these deeply Democratic parts, including most of the Great Neck and Cow’s Neck peninsulas and a broad strip of the town stretching from Lake Success to New Cassel. Her biggest margin — 86.5 percent — came in a district in New Cassel, where she won 307 of the 333 votes to Murray’s 19. These numbers are typical for North Hempstead, Nassau Democratic Party Chairman Jay Jacobs said. The town is generally an easy win for Democratic candidates, particularly given its large population of highly educated voters, he said. “They were the ones that were most attracted to the ‘prosecutor, not a politician’ argument, and playing that again and again, I think particularly with the people in North Hempstead ... that resonated,” Jacobs said.
