Assemblyman Dave McDonough (R,C,I -Merrick) is thrilled to announce his support for Independent Retailer Month during the month of July. As a long-standing proponent of small businesses and the past President of the Nassau County Council of Chambers of Commerce, McDonough invites all members of the community to focus on buying local not only now but all year round and this month is a perfect opportunity to start helping our neighbors across Nassau County.

“It’s my pleasure to invite all my friends and neighbors to buy local during Independent Retailer Month and also year-round,” McDonough said. “The importance of our local businesses cannot be understated and this month is a great opportunity to both support them and show our dedication to a strong and vibrant community. Being dedicated to local businesses isn’t just about shopping at locally-owned stores; it’s about local jobs which help our communities grow. A stronger local economy means a better quality product and more money in your pocket and your neighbors too.”
