MEET BRUCE

Bruce Blakeman is a lifelong New Yorker, a father, husband, and public servant who knows how to lead, and WIN.

As Nassau County Executive, he was re-elected in 2025 by 12 points in a Democrat-leaning county by doing what Albany won’t: keeping communities safe, cutting taxes, and putting common sense first.

He fought sanctuary policies, rejected mask mandates, stopped boys from playing in girls sports, and made Nassau the safest County in America while hiring hundreds of new police officers.

A 9/11 Port Authority Commissioner and two-term County Executive, Bruce has led through crisis and delivered results. He’s built the blueprint to beat Kathy Hochul, and he’s ready to put New York First.

BLAKEMAN’S NASSAU SUCCESS STORY

Bruce Blakeman has delivered real results in Nassau County, making it safer, cutting taxes, and pushing back against Albany mandates. Now he’s running for Governor to bring that same leadership to the entire state and put New Yorkers first.

TURNED NASSAU COUNTY INTO THE #1 SAFEST COUNTY IN AMERICA

Under Bruce Blakeman’s leadership, Nassau was named the safest County in America despite soaring crime in neighboring New York City. Blakeman said NO to Kathy Hochul’s sanctuary policies, and worked with ICE to take criminals off our streets.

HIRED 600+ NEW POLICE AND LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS

As County Executive, Bruce Blakeman hired 600 new Police and Law Enforcement Officers to keep Nassau families safe - helping to improve response times, boost neighborhood patrols and make Nassau the safest County in America. Blakeman has a no-nonsense approach to fighting crime.

NO PROPERTY TAX INCREASES

Bruce Blakeman eliminated $150 million in property tax hikes scheduled by his predecessor. As County Executive he didn’t raised property or sales taxes by a single penny. As Governor, he will deliver real relief to homeowners and renters - just as he did as County Executive.

MEET TODD
