Edward P. "Ed" Mangano (born March 24, 1962 in Bethpage , New York ) is an American politician . He is a member of the Republican Party and was from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2017 "County Executive" of Nassau County , New York State.

Life

Ed Mangano is the son of John and Rachel Mangano and grew up with two other siblings in the Town of Oyster Bay's small town Bethpage on Long Island , New York. While in high school, Mangano worked as a janitor to save money for college together. He studied law at Hofstra University and then worked for a local law firm.

Mangano is married and has two grown sons.

Political career

Ed Mangano entered politics in 1996 when he was elected to the 17th District of the Nassau County Legislature . There he served seven terms in a row until 2009. As a member of the legislature , he served in the committees for public relations, park and landscape development and economy. The district represented by Mangano included the towns of Bethpage, Hicksville, Plainedge, South Farmingdale, Levittown and Syosset. After the end of his last tenure, Ed Mangano was replaced by his party colleague Rose Marie Walker.

In the spring of 2009, Mangano announced his candidacy for the election of the County Executive in Nassau County. As an election promise, he announced in particular a comprehensive tax reform. In the November 2009 election, Mangano prevailed with a difference of only 386 votes against the previous incumbent, Thomas Suozzi , who belongs to the Democratic Party . The official swearing in took place on January 1, 2010. During his inaugural address, Mangano signed an edict to repeal property tax effective June 1, 2010. The tax repeal subsequently created an imbalance in the Nassau County's budget. In November 2013, Ed Mangano was re-elected against Suozzi, and on January 3, 2014 he took up his second term.

On October 20, 2016, Ed Mangano and his wife Linda were temporarily arrested on suspicion of corruption . Mangano is said to have favored restaurant operator Harendra Singh in business deals with Nassau County, including deliveries to the Nassau County Correctional Center, and in return received, among other things, vacation trips and free renovation work on houses as well as other perks. Not long after, Singh admitted bribing Mangano and Oyster Bay City Mayor John Venditto with benefits such as free meals at his restaurants and a mock job for Mangano's wife. Mangano and Venditto contradicted these statements.

Due to the impending corruption process, Mangano did not stand for election as the County Executive in November 2017; on January 1, 2018, he was replaced by Laura Curran . The trial of Mangano and his wife began on March 31, 2018 in Central Islip , and on March 8, 2019, both were convicted of multiple corruptions.
