I am writing regarding your article in the Williston Times on the candidacy of Arnold Drucker for the Nassau County Legislature seat for the 16th Legislative District.
This election on Nov. 8 will to fill the seat of the late Judy Jacobs and Mr. Drucker’s opponent will be Louis Imbroto.
I write to give my personal endorsement in support of Mr. Drucker.
As the executive director of the Queens Volunteer Lawyers Project Inc. for the past fifteen years I have often had the pleasure of interacting with Mr. Drucker.
Arnold has regularly performed pro bono legal service for many low-income clients of QVLP since our program’s inception in 1991.
He has helped many of our clients avoid eviction from their apartments through his zealous advocacy and application of appropriate legal defenses.
Most of those individuals would have lost their homes without his assistance. His service to the community has been exemplary.
In fact, he has received a Pro Bono Attorney of the Year Award from the Queens County Bar Association in recognition of the high-quality, free legal assistance he has provided to the community.
I, like Mr. Drucker, am a longtime resident of Nassau County, as I reside in Williston Park, and the reputation of Judy Jacobs as being someone who was able to reach across party lines and get things done is one that is rare to find in the current volatile political environment.
My experience with Mr. Drucker is that he will bring that same quality to this position.
He knows how to advocate for his client while working with opposing parties in an attempt to reach an amicable outcome for everyone concerned.
He will be a great addition to the Nassau County Legislature, and I give him my strongest personal recommendation for this position.
