Eric “Ari” Brown is the choice of the Nassau County Republican Committee to run in an April 7th Special Election for the 20th Assembly District. The seat became vacant when former Assemblywoman, Missy Miller, joined the Hempstead Town Board. Brown has built a reputation as a fiscal conservative and as a community minded government official during his tenure on the Board of Trustees in the Village of Cedarhurst. Ari is running for the State Assembly to combat the extreme left-wing agenda in Albany, including “cashless bail,” the defund the police movement, runaway taxes and the mask mandates that have undermined parental prerogatives in the face of the COVID pandemic.
“I am thankful to have received the endorsement of the Nassau Republican Party in the special election for the 20th Assembly District,” said Brown. “It has been my honor to have dedicated over two decades of service to our communities, serving on local government boards as a Cedarhurst Village official, and I am eager to put my experience to work in the New York State Assembly. Most of all, I am committed to be a sound and sensible voice in the face of the extreme politics that have taken hold in Albany.”
As Brown kicked off his campaign, he received the endorsement of the highly respected former Assemblywoman for the 20th District, Missy Miller. Miller said that she is confident that Eric “Ari” Brown would continue her priorities in Albany. In particular, Miller said that she believes that Ari would be a strong voice for taxpayers and for vulnerable members of society.
“I am supporting Ari Brown in the race for the New York State Assembly because he shares my priorities,” said Miller. “He will fight for tax relief, push for our fair share of school aid and stand up for vulnerable members of our society, including persons with special needs and serious health issues. We need Ari Brown.”
Brown unveiled his priorities as he launched his Assembly campaign. Rising lawlessness, hate crimes and anti-Semitism are a direct result of Albany policies and legislation, according to the Cedarhurst Deputy Mayor. Specifically, the Democrat-controlled legislature has passed the “cashless bail” law, which has turned loose killers, drug dealers, gang members and other dangerous criminals into our communities.
In fact, a classmate of one of Ari’s children, a resident of the 5-Towns, was brutally targeted in a recent Antisemitic attack in New York City; the victim decrying Albany’s “soft on crime” legislation. In addition, Brown said he will stand firmly against attempts to defund police.
As a father of seven and as a grandfather of two, Eric “Ari” Brown is also an advocate for parents whom are frustrated with Albany politicians, whom have tried to replace parental decision making on masking of children with an inept and uncaring governmental bureaucracy. At the same time, Brown wants to get to the bottom of the former Governor’s COVID/nursing home scandal “coverup,” which resulted in the death of thousands upon thousands of senior citizens.
In the wake of the COVID pandemic, Brown’s financial and economic plan includes opening up our economy to pre COVID standards. Furthermore, Ari wants to reverse the regressive commuter tax, euphemistically referred to as congestion pricing. The one-billion-dollar tax effects all automobile traffic entering and leaving Manhattan south of 60th Street. Brown says that this tax is particularly regressive since it does not take into account the ability of individual commuters to pay. Finally, Ari says that the tax is particularly onerous on Long Island commuters whom comprise a large portion of traffic entering the City.
“Residents of the 20th Assembly District deserve a voice of reason in Albany,” concluded Brown. “The extreme politicians have gone too far in Albany, making our neighborhoods less safe, undermining parental authority and bringing us spiraling taxes. I will stand up for our communities, support our police and work with residents whom don’t want a government that attempts to usurp their parental rights.”
Eric “Ari” Brown is 54-years old and is a 30-year resident of Cedarhurst. Mr. Brown is also running on the Conservative Party line.
Didn’t Mr. Brown compare vaccination clinics to the Holocaust? Isn’t he part of the chevra that attacked Rabbi Glatt and other rabbonim for trying to prevent people from dying at the early stages of the pandemic? And didn’t he install sketchy electric parking meters on Central Ave that alert the metermaids to come running when your meter expires? No thanks ….
Not sure if those things are true, but do you have a better candidate????
Sadly, all true. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg….
Over two decades of self-serving corruption in Cedarhurst, and now Albany?
Usually and unfortunate for all of us, it’s a person who has no engineering, marketing, business experience but sits behind a desk for years and years who thinks highly of herself/himself for such positions.
That entire Village Hall is outdated, big big change needed from A-Z.
Ari Brown wants to stop the Albany insane no bail law which David Lobl and his former boss Andrew a Cuomo wrote!
That’s silly. David Lobl is opposed to bail reform just like all of the other yidden in Albany who run as Democrats (Felder, Eichenstein, etc). Everyone knows there’s no way to have any impact in NYS Assembly if you’re outnumbered more than 2 to 1. But it’s a damn good way to get a staff and a salary without having to do anything.
It’s very apropos that this election is right before Purim. It’s kind of like Esther who had the courage to use her position of power to confront Achashreivosh to save the yidden. Esther knew what needed to be done for the klal and that’s why we all fast tomorrow.
Ari’s opponent was in a similar position too but he failed. He was too afraid of the King, Andrew Cuomo, to stand up for our community. From doing nothing for our yeshivas to letting hate crimes go through the roof to intentionally targeting our communities and blaming us for COVID and shutting down frum communities, Cuomo put forth horrible gzeiros against the yidden. Ari’s opponent could have helped but instead he did nothing for his bretheren and sold us down the river so he could keep his job. And now he wants to be our representative?
Just as Ukraine’s Jewish Zelensky should have stayed a comedian (he was good at that) and it is now blamed and hated by most Ukrainians (what a surprise!), so no Orthodox Jew should be in public service out front-
We all know the machers in DC who are not servicing us –
Neither will these 2 unheard of candidates.
Stay with your real estate licenses, day trade jobs…..
You say you are against cashless bail and will fight it in Albany.
How did Missy Miller your biggest supporter allow this to pass? The horrible bail reform that is destroying NY passed on her watch.
She was in the Assembly and allowed it to pass.
This election is not about bail reform or funding/defunding police or any real political differences, since the candidates seem to agree about all of that.
Each of the candates seems to think that he is the most capable to represent us.
But only one of the candidates will get a seat at the table, and the other one (if he prevails) could either sit at home and reap the benefits of an elected official, or he can go to Albany and have zero input, and zero funding other than for a staff and office.
