NEW YORK — A Democratic candidate for Nassau County Legislature has been missing for five days, authorities said.

Petros Krommidas, 29, was last seen Wednesday night at his home in Baldwin, Long Island, and was reported missing the following day, Nassau County police said in an alert.

On Monday, searchers found Krommidas’ vehicle near the Long Beach boardwalk and his clothing on the beach, Newsday reported. Cops said foul play is not suspected in his disappearance.

“He is believed to be in the Long Beach area,” Nassau County police wrote Wednesday. “Detectives request anyone with information on his whereabouts to contact the Nassau County Police Department Missing Persons Squad.”

Krommidas was last seen wearing a camo sweatshirt and gray sweatpants, cops said. He stands 6-foot-2 and weighs about 230 pounds.

Krommidas had launched a campaign to represent Nassau County’s Fourth District in the county legislature. The body includes 19 representatives from across the county.

On April 22, Krommidas posted on Facebook about speaking with Nassau County Young Democrats one night earlier. He wrote it was “always great to be with such a thoughtful, engaged group committed to making a difference in our community.” He was last seen one day after the post, April 23.

The Fourth District seat Krommidas is running for is currently held by Patrick Mullaney, a Republican. It includes Long Beach, Atlantic Beach, Lido Beach, Oceanside and Bay Park.
