Lawrence Levy, associate vice president and executive dean of the National Center for Suburban Studies, spoke to Newsday about five GOP-led towns in Nassau and Suffolk that are challenging a new state law to move most local elections to even-numbered years.
Levy called the law “a mixed bag” for political parties and candidates. He said the candidate at the top of the ticket could impact many of the results.
“There is the risk that local issues will be drowned out … but it’s also an opportunity for a lot of people, who never bothered to pay attention to local races, to maybe do so if they don’t want to click a lever for just any old person without knowing something,” he said.
