Some news for you

Over four years ago we began an incredible journey together with a remarkably simple promise - to move Nassau Forward. [ {NAME} Over four years ago we began an incredible journey together with a remarkably simple promise - to move Nassau Forward. Joanie and I were so overwhelmed by the tireless support of so many standing together for reform and open, transparent government. So, it is with sincere gratitude for this incredible opportunity to serve and excited anticipation for what the future holds, that I have decided not to run for reelection this year. In looking ahead toward November, I had to make a choice, and ultimately it was a clear one: I will stay focused on the work that I enjoy and that our County needs to meet this moment and leave the politics to others. Our office will continue to be a source of facts, calling balls and strikes, with no distractions of the politics sure to heat up as the year rolls on. We have important work we are engaged with, so stay tuned, as we cannot wait to share it. I set out four key priorities as Nassau County Comptroller: opening up and modernizing County government by launching the [Open Nassau Transparency Portal]( conducting smart audits so residents get the bang for their buck they deserve, reforming the county contracting system, and getting the public involved to inform our work. This week we released our three-year progress update, and I’m proud that since 2018, we have identified or recovered more than $149.4 million for Nassau County taxpayers. There is more for us to do this year; the work is never done. It is no secret that I love focusing on this work, because even though it is nerdy, finding more efficient ways to deliver critical services, supporting our economic recovery, and closing our equity gaps makes a difference for our communities’ families. On a personal note, I will continue to keep you posted as we move forward this year. I will keep you in the loop about Sage conquering Kindergarten and Ozzie’s long awaited first haircut, and of course, on my future plans at the appropriate time. There are many ways to serve and help move our communities forward, and I will not be shy about stepping up and continuing to do so. Your support these past four years has meant the world and I’m more grateful than I can ever express. I look forward to continuing our relationship as I move into the next phase of my career. There is so much more for us to do together in the months and years to come. So, let’s get back to work, Jack Paid for by Jack Schnirman for Nassau This message was sent to: [{EMAIL}](#) | You can unsubscribe by [clicking here.](
