This sentiment captures the uncertainty and anticipation experienced by candidates on election night.
Summary: Republican candidates showed strong performance in Nassau County’s 2024 elections, with Bruce Blakeman securing a second term as county executive by emphasizing fiscal responsibility and safety initiatives.
