Laura Schaefer was first elected to the Nassau County Legislature in 2013 and was re-elected by wide margins in 2015, 2017, 2019 and again in 2021 to represent Legislative District 14 which includes Garden City, Garden City South, Carle Place and portions of Westbury, Jericho, Hicksville, Bethpage, Plainview, West Hempstead, Hempstead and Franklin Square.  Laura grew up in Westbury and graduated from Adelphi University with a B.A. in Communications.  She was later admitted to practice law in New York State, receiving her Juris Doctor from Hofstra University School of Law.

As a result, Laura has gained extensive experience in funding for community revitalization projects and approved the appointment of qualified and experienced individuals to serve on various management and oversight boards in Nassau County.
