Danielle Smikle is a proud educator, small business owner, and immigrant running to serve as Nassau County Legislator.
Born in St. Ann, Jamaica and raised in Freeport, Danielle is a product of Nassau County’s public schools and a proud graduate of Canisius College. Her entire career has been rooted in service—whether it’s helping families navigate medical insurance, mentoring high school students, or launching a candle business with her mother to promote wellness and empowerment.
As a teacher, Danielle has seen firsthand how broken systems fail our kids and our communities. As a small business owner, she understands how hard it is to grow without real support.
She’s running to ensure government works for everyday people, not just the well-connected. Her campaign focuses on:
• Supporting small businesses and revitalizing downtown areas
• Advocating for better schools and expanded youth programs
• Preserving Nassau’s suburban charm while pushing for smart, balanced growth
• Rebuilding trust between law enforcement and the community
• Prioritizing road, park, and water infrastructure we all rely on
Danielle isn’t here to play politics. She’s here to lead with integrity, compassion, and action. With deep roots in her district and a heart for her neighbors, she’s ready to fight for the future Nassau deserves.
