Edward P. Mangano (born March 24th 1962) is a county legislature in Nassau County, New York. He was elected in 1995. He is currently serving his fifth term.[1]

He is presently running against Thomas R. Suozzi for Nassau County Executive in an election that will be held November 3rd.[2]

Biography

Ed Mangano was born and raised in Bethpage, New York. He was raised as one of 3 siblings by his loving parent’s Rachel and John.

Mangano began his professional career as a janitor to put himself though college. While earning undergraduate and law degrees from Hofstra University Mangano found the time to have a successful career in printing and publishing newspapers and, in 1988, was admitted to the New York State Bar. Additionally he went on to serve as council to a local law firm on Long Island. [3]

Mr. Mangano and his wife, Linda, have two sons; Salvatore and Alexander.[4]

Politial Career

Over the last several years Mangano has worked tirelessly on several projects. One of his biggest achievements is the revitalization of former Navy and Grumman property littered throughout Nassau. When Congress has closed said properties, and other defense plants throughout the country, it is estimated that over 200,000 jobs were lost. Today, the former Navy and Grumman properties, which for years had been left to rot, is now home to dozens of new businesses, tens of thousands of new jobs, and senior citizen centers.[5]

As a Legislator, Mangano serves on the Rules Committee, the Public Works Committee, the Recreation and Parks Committee, the Procedures Committee, and the Economic and Community Development Committee.

Mangano has also been a sponsor of legislation preserving land throughout Nassau County, strengthening Megan’s Law, preserving the historic 18th century Jackson/Malcom estate, preserving Underhill Property to protect drinking water, establishing a state-of-the-art fire fighting training center, increasing veteran services, funding a veteran’s monument, created a high technology small business incubator, and established youth programs to provide teenagers with a place to gather.[6]

District

Mangano currently represents the 17th legislative district of Nassau County as County Legislator. This district includes areas of Bethpage, Hicksville, Plainedge, South Farmingdale, Levittown, Island Trees, and Syosset. He is the first individual elected to, and the only person to serve in, the position.

Community Involvement

In addendum to his various careers Mangano also serves on many charitable organizations. Currently he is an active member of the Bethpage Chamber of Commerce and an honorary member of the Hicksville Kiwanis. In the past he has served on the Board of Directors of Children’s House, as a member of the LI Mentoring Partnership Council, was President of the Bethpage/Plainview Rotary Club, was a member of the Grumman Master Planning Council, and was a member of the Town of Oyster Bay Youth Advisory Committee [7]

New York League of Conservation Voters Award

Mangano was the recipient of an award from the New York League of Conservation Voters for “working to preserve open space and setting aside $5 million for the acquisition of the (81 acre) Underhill Property” and for “fighting for the “Clean Water/Clear Air bond act funding for the purpose of ground water protection.

County Executive Campaign

In the fall of 2009 Legislator Mangano began a campaign for Nassau County Executive. His platform includes promises to cut wasteful spending, freeze and fix Nassau’s broken bleeding tax assessment system, repeal the new tax on home energy and electricity use, and halt the practice of borrowing and relying on dept to pay current expenses.
