Arnold W. Drucker D

BACKGROUND

• Drucker, 68, of Plainview, a registered Democrat, is seeking his fifth term as a Nassau County legislator. He is running on the Democratic Party line.
• He is an attorney and partner in Drucker & Mattia. From 2012-2016, he served on the Nassau Community College board of trustees. 
• He has a bachelor's in political science and history from SUNY Buffalo and a law degree from Rutgers University School of Law.

ISSUES

• Drucker has criticized the Blakeman administration's hiring of outside law firms to defend the county and said he would continue to push for staffing and training lawyers in the County Attorney's Office.
• He said he would address the property assessment system, which he says the Blakeman administration failed to do. Drucker said he believes freezing the tax roll "causes an inaccurate, indefensible and dysfunctional assessment system that has led to thousands of assessment grievance by taxpayers every year." 
• Drucker would allocate more money for investment in small and local businesses to encourage growth and opportunity with low interest loans and tax breaks.
