Primary Day: Your Guide to Who's Running for What

While the Democratic primary for attorney general, featuring a run by Nassau County District Attorney Kathleen Rice, has garnered most of the attention this election season, there are also a couple of contested primaries Tuesday in congressional districts that cover Rockville Centre.

In the 4th Congressional District, which covers portions of Rockville Centre, Democratic incumbent Carolyn McCarthy is running unopposed in the primary.  On the Republican side, three men are seeking the nod to take on McCarthy, who has served six terms in the House.

Dan Maloney, of Baldwin, works part-time in finance at a home health care agency in Rockville Centre and is an active member in the Tea Party movement. Francis X. Becker Jr., of Lynbrook, has the backing of the Nassau County Republican Party and is currently serving his eighth term in the Nassau County Legislature. Frank Scaturro, of Hempstead, is a visiting professor at Hofstra Law School and has published a number of books and articles in the area of history and law.

A recent debate between the three men turned ugly during a League of Women Voters forum at the Hewlett-Woodmere Library.

The general election tickets are already set in the state government arena with no contested primaries.  State Sen. Charles Fuschillo (R-Merrick) will face Democrat Carol Gordon, of Massapequa in the 8th District. Assemblyman David McDonough (R-Merrick) will square off against Democrat John Brooks, of Seaford, in November.
