On Friday, January 5th, 2018, Nassau County Legislator Denise Ford took the oath of office for her new term in a ceremony at the Cradle of Aviation Museum in Garden City.
State Senator Elaine Phillips swore in Legislator Ford and the other Legislators in the Majority Caucus for the 12th Session of the Nassau County Legislature, before a crowd of family, friends and other elected officials.
Legislator Ford has represented the 4th District of the Nassau County Legislature, which encompasses the City of Long Beach, Lido Beach, Atlantic Beach, East Atlantic Beach, Point Lookout and Island Park and parts of East Rockaway, Oceanside, Woodmere, Lawrence and Cedarhurst, since she was first elected after an upset victory in 2003.
