"Her Democratic challenger, Nicole Aloise, who moved from the Queens District Attorney's Office to the Nassau County District Attorney's Office, has highlighted her record in the courtroom, including taking on MS-13 gang members, an endorsement from the county's largest employee union and a campaign supported with smaller donations rather than the political committees. Aloise asserts Donnelly isn't fit to lead the office, pointing to an exodus of experienced prosecutors that have resulted in fewer convictions."
"Anne Donnelly, who in 2021 became the first Republican elected district attorney in more than 15 years, is asking Nassau voters to grant her a second term based on work including putting away MS-13 gang members, cold case indictments and having the independence to launch the first inquiries into disgraced former Rep. George Santos, a Republican."
"Both women live in Garden City and are active in the community. Both have three children and say motherhood helps motivate them to ensure public safety and bring justice on behalf of families."
Two career prosecutors compete to lead the Nassau County District Attorney's Office, both emphasizing tough-on-crime strategies and local engagement. Anne Donnelly, elected in 2021 as the first Republican district attorney in over 15 years, cites MS-13 convictions, cold case indictments and independent inquiries into former Rep. George Santos as reasons to seek a second term. Nicole Aloise, who moved from the Queens DA's office to Nassau, emphasizes courtroom experience, MS-13 prosecutions, a major union endorsement and grassroots funding. Aloise accuses Donnelly of prompting an exodus of experienced prosecutors and fewer convictions. Both candidates live in Garden City, have three children and stress public safety and justice for families.
