Two more members of Nassau County Legislature's Republican Majority caucus — 20-year veteran Denise Ford and Legis. Laura Schaefer (R-Westbury) — confirmed Wednesday they won't seek reelection in November. The moves come as the legislature embarks on a once-in-a-decade redistricting process. Ford, 72, an enrolled Democrat from Long Beach who caucuses with Republicans, told Newsday she's decided to step away from politics to have more time with her family. "I never thought I'd be a legislator, and each election I thought I'd be voted out," Ford said.
