Headlining the evening was Nassau County Executive and gubernatorial candidate Bruce Blakeman, who delivered a forceful address centered on crime, taxes and energy policy. Blakeman, joined by his lieutenant governor running mate, Madison County Sheriff Todd Hood, emphasized a law-and-order platform and a statewide coalition bridging New York City and upstate voters.<\/p>\n
