County Commissioner, District 4

Two Republicans are running for Nassau County Commission, District 4, in the Aug. 18 primary election: incumbent Alyson McCullough and Cheryl Plaugher. Since the race drew only Republican candidates and no Democrat qualified, the contest will be decided in the primary and is open to all registered voters, regardless of party affiliation. Nassau NewsLine invited each candidate to answer the same set of questions about their priorities and qualifications. Their responses, presented in their own words, follow below.
