Democrat Nicole Aloise outraises incumbent Anne Donnelly (R) in challenge for DA seat

If fundraising numbers are any indicator, District Attorney Anne Donnelly may have a tough fight on her hands if she wants to keep her seat.

Nicole Aloise, the Democrat challenging Republican incumbent Donnelly for Nassau District attorney in November, outraised Donnelly by almost $90,000 at the second quarter filing deadline, bringing in $254,665 to Donnelly’s $165,664 this year.

Aloise has raised roughly $712,000 since starting her campaign last summer, while Donnelly has raised about $680,000 since taking office in 2022. Aloise’s team says the fundraising numbers indicate voters want change.

“The fundraising numbers show that the voters of Nassau are ready for change and want a district attorney who has the experience to keep our county safe,” Aloise’s campaign said in a statement. Aloise has worked as a prosecutor and assistant district attorney in both the Queens and Nassau offices for the past 16 years.
