Up-and-coming Long Island Dem running for county seat vanishes: We are heartbroken

An up-and-coming Long Island Democrat running for a seat on the Nassau County Legislature has been missing for nearly a week, according to cops.Petros Krommidas — a 29-year-old graduate of prestigious local Chaminade High School and a former student-athlete at Columbia University — was last seen Wednesday night in Baldwin wearing a camouflage shirt and gray sweats.The financial worker-turned-party hopeful was reported missing Thursday evening by his mother, and police believe he may have gone to the Long Beach area — where his family told police he loves to spend time on the boardwalk.“We are heartbroken over the disappearance of Petros Krommidas,” Nassau County Democratic Committee Chairman Jay Jacobs said in a statement.“Petros is a bright, driven young man who has been a strong voice for Democratic values.

He is well respected by the community and represents the very best of our next generation of leaders.We are keeping Petros and his family in our prayers and remain hopeful for his safe return.”Just two days before his disappearance, Krommidas spoke at a monthly meeting for the Nassau County Young Democrats alongside Joe Scianablo, who is running for Town of Hempstead supervisor, according to a post from his Facebook account.Krommidas’ sister, Eleni, pleaded in a message on social media for anyone who has information to come forward.“My brother is missing, and we are deeply worried,” his sister wrote.Krommidas is a Long Island native who graduated from Chaminade in 2013 and later from the Ivy League university as a member of the rowing team and with multiple degrees in American history and business management, according to his LinkedIn.He worked in finance, including at Morgan Stanley and Sageview Capital, before jumping to politics in 2024 with a job as a Democratic Party field organizer, his account shows.His election primary is about two months away, on June 24, with the general election Nov.
