Edward Mangano

Forever Bethpage’s favorite son, Edward Mangano humbly began his professional career as a janitor, working hard to put himself through college in pursuit of a law degree. Once achieving his academic dreams, he set out to fulfill his life’s mission: to improve the lives of Bethpage residents and all Nassau County residents, as a county legislator. A true man of the people, he served in this capacity for seven terms, fighting relentlessly to help revitalize the former Grumman-Navy property in his hometown, among other initiatives, and weighing in on countless countywide policies with the sole objective of making a positive difference. As Nassau’s top elected official, county executive, Mangano has continued implementing projects and programs he believes are in the best interest of its 1.3 million residents, all the while doing his best to also keep a hold on their exorbitant property taxes—no easy task, by any stretch. When the chips are down, no matter what they may represent—fiscal calamity, environmental catastrophe, political hijinks, or otherwise—Nassau County residents know they’ve got “Ed” in their corner, and he’s doing the very best he can, to make their county great.
