In Nassau County, Republican Anne Donnelly won the race for district attorney, an office no Republican had won since 2001, defeating Todd Kaminsky.
The New York Post reported:
Kaminsky and Democrats rolled back some of the changes in 2020 following a public backlash and complaints from law enforcement that criminals getting sprung immediately would commit more crimes. The Democrats took action to limit judges’ discretion to set bail after wresting control of the state Senate from Republicans. Kaminsky voted for bail reform as part of the 2019 state budget. He pushed for amendments to the law a year later to address complaints. But Donnelly and the GOP used the bail issue as a club against Kaminsky, a rising star in the Democratic Party.
