Unofficial Results Are In For 5th County Legislature District

UNIONDALE, NY. — Olena Nicks will be the next legislator in Nassau County Legislature’s 5th district, according to unofficial tallies that show Nicks defeating Moshe Hill in Tuesday’s election.

Nicks received 6,041 votes, equal to 57.39 percent of voters, while Hill received 4,481, or 42.57 percent. It’s a step into a new district for Nicks, who previously won a special election to replace Siela Bynoe, who now serves in the State Senate, in February.

The former Lieutenant in the Uniondale Fire Department will be part of an eight-member minority in the legislature come January.

Results in the election are unofficial until certified by the County Board of Elections. Further information on all of Tuesday’s elections can be found through the Nassau County Board of Elections and the New York State Board of Elections.
