Nassau Democrats are going to win in November, but we cannot do it without Wayne. Having worked with him for the last year and a half, he is one of the smartest people I’ve ever met, one of the hardest workers I’ve ever met, and a tremendous addition to this ticket. I am proud to run with him. He wants this. He deserves it. And he’s going to win it.”

He has my full support this November!”
