MANHASSET, N.Y. (WCBS 880) — Longtime North Hempstead Town Supervisor Judi Bosworth has announced that she will not be seeking a fifth term in office.
In a statement, Bosworth noted that's it time she take her own advice and put "family first."
"The pandemic has been a time of deep reflection. One of the lessons that has been reinforced for me is the importance of family and how essential the time is that we spend with our loved ones. So often, I have thought about the many things I would like to do in the future, and I've come to the realization that the future is now," Bosworth said.
"When my term concludes, I look forward to spending more time with Jay, my children, and grandchildren. Change is healthy and now is the right time for me to conclude my tenure in office," she added.
Bosworth took office in 2014 after serving six years in the Nassau County Legislature, representing the 10th District, and 16 years as a trustee of the Great Neck School District Board of Education.
"It has been an honor to serve as your Town Supervisor, and I have every confidence our Town elected officials and workforce will maintain the standards of transparency, accountability, and fiscal oversight that have been my guiding principles in government," Bosworth said. "Public service is not defined by the office you hold. It is defined by the love you have for your community and neighbors, and by being there for them. By that standard, I will always be engaged in public service."
