MEET THE CANDIDATES

This year, with the large number of Nassau County and Town of Oyster Bay positions up for election, we will partner with the NorthWest Civic and Hicksville Community Council to host a series of Town Hall meetings to offer an opportunity for all candidates to express their views and answer questions from the Hicksville community. Invitations were sent to candidates from both the Republican and Democratic parties for all positions up for election. Not all candidates may be able to attend, due to prior commitments.

The Hicksville Gardens Civic Association DOES NOT endorse any candidate. As a local civic association, we present candidates with a forum to share their ideas and to answer questions. The statements made by the candidates at these forums are the candidates’ own and are not an endorsement by the Hicksville Gardens Civic Association.  

ALL meetings will be held at the Hicksville Community Center, 28 Carl St., and start at 7pm.

We urge everyone to attend as many of these meetings as possible.

Voting is a privilege that comes with a responsibility to be familiar with the candidates’ positions on issues that affect us all. Information on the candidates is readily available on the internet, and we encourage everyone to seek out this information to be an informed electorate. Hicksville is the most populous hamlet in the Town of Oyster Bay, as well as one of the most populous in Nassau County. With development projects underway and planned for our community and nearby, it is important to show the candidates that we care what is going on in this place we all call home.
