Len Torres
Len Torres is running for re-election to the Long Beach City Council. A Long Beach resident for over 38 years, Len is running again because of his deep commitment to the people of this city.
“I am frustrated and disappointed with the Republican leadership and their partisan politics. The present administration is ignoring many problems in our community at the peril of residents.”
“Whether it’s the sewer overflow and smell on Lindell and Park, the rundown condition of our boardwalk or the deteriorating conditions of the streets and roads, the Republicans seem more intent on hiring and adding friends and family to an already inflated payroll, then on addressing quality of life issues.”
“Fran, Scott and I make a pledge that a new Democratic majority on the City Council, will work together to find the solutions to the problems that plague our city.”

Fran is committed to open and transparent government in Long Beach. “Good and Welfare time should be made at every Council meeting and I would propose having Council meetings recorded on video and made available on a new, and improved, city website that is more user friendly.”
Fran, as a Library Board Trustee, was instrumental in facilitating the installation of solar panels on the roof of the library. She also worked to bring a new library to the West End, after the original branch was closed.
“My goal is to advocate for improving the quality of life for all of the citizens of Long Beach. With transparency and responsiveness from our government, along with inviting the public to participate, we can build a better city. A strong community starts with its citizens,” Adelson stated.

Scott Mandel is a homeowner in the President Streets area and has lived in Long Beach since 2002. Even though Scott was raised in nearby Oceanside, he has always be drawn to “the beach”. Scott and his wife of two years have chosen to make Long Beach their home. A practicing senior trial attorney focused on real estate, education and associated complex litigation, Scott has an expertise that is greatly needed by our city's governing council. Scott is a member of the Long Beach Democratic Committee, the Long Beach City coordinator of the New York Democratic Lawyers Council ensuring voter rights, a volunteer mediator in the Nassau County District Court and a law student mentor at Hofstra University. Scott proudly serves the Long Beach public as a member of the Long Beach Auxiliary Police. “My decision to run for public office, and specifically for the Long Beach City Council, is centered on my belief that public officials, especially elected officials, are there to serve the public,” Mandel stated. Mandel points to the overall deterioration of our quality of life in Long Beach using the poor condition of our streets and boardwalk and a general decline in city services as examples of Republican indifference. “The present Republican city council majority and the Republican majority in the Nassau County Legislature functions as if the public is there to serve them. This is wrong and has to come to an end.” “Len, Fran, Darlene and I, as members of the Democratic Party, the “Peoples Party”, will serve as your representatives giving you the voice you deserve in improving our city’s management, government and future,” said Mandel.
