2026 New York General Election

Ferretti has never voted for a tax increase during his tenure as a public official. Instead, he led the charge to cut county taxes by $70 million and successfully blocked $150 million in scheduled tax hikes, which were contained in the previous County Executive’s multi-year budget. His record speaks for itself: John believes government must live within its means, just like hardworking families do every day.

A strong voice for suburban communities, Ferretti has been on the frontlines, succesfully pushing back against Governor Hochul’s Urban Housing Plan, which would have crammed high-rise, high density, New York City-style apartment housing alongside our single-family suburban homes.

Opposes Governor Hochul’s Urban Housing Plan, which he says would allow high-density apartments near single-family homes.

Housing & Urban Development

As a member of the Nassau County Legislature, Ferretti has partnered with the Town of Hempstead to enhance many public programs and services for the benefit of the region’s more than one million residents. These include the creation of a Fentanyl Crisis Seminar, a collaborative effort between the Town, County, and District Attorney’s Office to address the fentanyl and opioid epidemic; denouncing multiple incidents of antisemitism that have taken place across Nassau County; seeking to ban convicted animal abusers from future pet ownership; requesting increased funding for local Shark Patrol operations; establishing a football equipment collection drive for underprivileged youth; and many more intermunicipal initiatives.

After his family dog was viciously attacked by another, Ferretti drafted a law to require that dogs deemed to be dangerous are placed on a registry so area residents can be more aware of a potential danger in their neighborhood.

Ferretti’s taxpayer-first approach is matched by his unwavering commitment to community safety. He played a key role in making Nassau County the safest county in America by boosting police presence, investing in cutting-edge technology, reopening a shuttered police precinct, and defeating efforts to remove ICE agents from the Nassau County Correctional Facility, which would have exposed neighbors to the release of dangerous gang members and criminals. John also worked closely with Town of Hempstead officials to enhance police patrols at houses of worship during holy days and holidays.

John Ferretti has taken a strong stand against antisemitism and all hate, co-authoring legislation like the Mask Transparency Act, which prevents individuals from concealing their identity while intimidating and terrorizing others. He believes every resident deserves to feel safe and respected—regardless of background.
