U.S. Representative — NY-4 (D)

Laura Gillen is the Democratic U.S. Representative for New York's 4th Congressional District (central/southern Nassau County), serving since 2025 after flipping the seat by defeating Republican Anthony D'Esposito in 2024. An attorney and Baldwin native, she previously served as Town of Hempstead Supervisor (2018–2021), the first Democrat elected to that post in a century. She is rated a toss-up incumbent seeking re-election in 2026. [About Laura | Representative Laura Gillen ↗]
