Kevan Abrahams

Kevan Abrahams (D-Hempstead) is serving his second full term as a Nassau County Legislator in the 1st Legislative District, after decisively winning his seat with a resounding victory. When first elected in 2002, Abrahams was the youngest legislator ever elected to the Nassau County Legislature. Since his election in 2002, Legislator Abrahams has made the needs of his communities his top priority, in particular highlighting problems regarding the stabilization of property taxes, addressing healthcare stabilization, funding for after-school programs, gangs and gang violence. Abrahams has hosted several informational forums to give county officials and community leaders a first hand look into the world of gangs and gang violence. He has also advocated for and supported additional funding to address this problem. During each and every budget process during his tenure, Legislator Abrahams has led the way to restore funding to social service, youth, community health and senior programs. Most recently, Abrahams has proposed a local law that would restrict registered sex offenders from living near schools and parks or playgrounds. The proposed law would give Nassau County one of the strictest sex offender laws on the books in the entire state.
