Addressing Community Concerns in Elmont. Responding to the concerns expressed by his constituents in Elmont, Legislator Solages is working with the Nassau County Police Department’s Fifth Precinct and the Town of Hempstead to address quality of life issues along Hempstead Turnpike and Elmont Road, including litter and debris cleanup.

Carrie One-Page Mailer - Final

ELMONT: Having great fields and parks are important to residents. That is why I obtained $316,800 in funding to improve park land at the Dutch Broadway Athletic Complex (aka the “SUMP”) in Elmont. The project involves construction a soccer field and a cricket pitch as well as repairing the water table and the ground issues at the SUMP.

Public Services

I will also continue to provide the communities I serve with resources that empower homeowners to advocate for themselves and ensure that they pay only their fair share of property taxes, and not a penny more. Each year my office hosts a series of assessment grievance workshops to help property owners challenge the assessed values of their homes if they believe they are incorrect.

Housing & Urban Development

I have led the efforts to equip our Nassau County Police Officers with body cameras. I have also funded efforts to have more auxiliary police cars in our community to patrol and show a visible law enforcement presence. I have funded and supported efforts for the use of Shot Spotter which has detected gun use in our community which much be treated as a priority because we see rising gun violence in the metro NYC area.

Candidate Profile: Carrie Solages, Nassau Legislator

I have promoted many other efforts to help reduce crime. I have funded through my supportive funding votes as a Legislator to fully fund such programs and providing more resources to our law enforcement through technology. I have led the efforts to equip our Nassau County Police Officers with body cameras. I have also funded efforts to have more auxiliary police cars in our community to patrol and show a visible law enforcement presence.

On June 4th I stood with Legislative Minority Leader Kevan Abrahams (District 1) and Legislator Siela Bynoe (District 2) urging the Nassau County Police Department to implement a program to require officers to use dashboard and body cameras. The legislation we introduced would create a demonstration program with cameras in marked and unmarked patrol cars. Implementing ‘dash and body cams’ would be an extra layer of protection and safety for police and the public.

Public Safety

Looking ahead, I will continue to hold the county’s feet to the fire to ensure that our district gets its fair share of resources, especially when it comes to long-overdue repairs of major county roads that you travel every day. Our communities deserve safe, well-maintained infrastructure, and I won’t stop fighting until we see real results.

The constituents of the 3rd Legislative District rely heavily upon public transportation, and Legislator Solages has been on the forefront of advocacy for the rights of commuters to safe, affordable, and efficient public transport. Legislator Solages has remained critical of the privatization of the buses in Nassau County and has raised awareness of poor transportation service issues such as late buses, lack of proper training of drivers, and cuts to popular routes through community forums and panels, as well as through non-traditional platforms such as YouTube.

He is also calling upon UBS Arena—which will soon be opening an array of new retail stores—to be better neighbors and reduce the daily $5 commuter parking fee. Legislator Solages is also demanding more bus and Able Ride service between Hempstead Turnpike to the new Elmont LIRR station.

Legislator Solages is currently advocating for a turn signal that would facilitate left-hand turns onto west-bound North Fletcher Avenue in N. Valley Stream and is working with Nassau’s Department of Public Works to complete a traffic study of North Central Avenue.

THE PLAN
My Priorities for District 3

These aren't talking points. They're the issues I hear every time I knock on a door in this neighborhood.

💰
Lower Taxes & Cut Wasteful Spending

Responsible budgeting that eases the burden on working families.

Lowering the Tax Burden: As a financial professional, I understand how tax policy impacts working families, seniors, and small businesses. I will work to ensure our tax dollars are being used efficiently, advocating for responsible budgeting, smarter infrastructure investments, and the elimination of wasteful spending that drives up the cost of living. I also believe residents deserve more transparency and education around how we are taxed and where increases are coming from, so we can make informed decisions and hold government accountable.

Advocates responsible budgeting and greater transparency about taxes and tax increases to reduce burdens on working families.

Protecting Quality of Life through Infrastructure and Green Space: Improved roads, safe parks, and clean public spaces are not luxuries. They are necessities that help keep families in Nassau County and attract new ones. I will advocate for more investment in recreational spaces and infrastructure maintenance, especially in underserved parts of the district.

Strengthening Community Voice and Unity: Too often, residents feel disconnected from the decisions that affect our neighborhoods. I want to foster a more open line of communication between the community and our local government, helping residents better understand what is happening and why it matters. I also believe we are stronger when we are united, and I will encourage our community to speak with one voice and work together to advocate for the resources and attention we deserve.
