In October 2013, Mr. Fensterman hosted a fundraiser for NYC mayoral candidate Bill de Blasio at his Long Island residence, where over ninety Long Island community leaders gathered to show their support for the Democratic nominee. “Bill de Blasio is going to pursue a strategy that will result in a stronger New York City and, in so doing, will add to the vitality of Nassau and Suffolk Counties.” stated Mr. Fensterman.
He also pointed out “What was once considered a sleepy ‘bedroom’ community on the outskirts of Manhattan, Long Islanders now recognized for its dynamic, well-educated talent pool that is vital to New York City, and for its local businesses, large and small, that help make the Greater New York area one of the most vibrant economic engines in the country. Bill de Blasio understands the interrelationship between New York City and Long Island. His policies will benefit New York and Long Island residents.”
