I’ll be at Suffolk Democratic Party headquarters at the Islandia Marriott, right off the LIE between exits 57 and 58. Suffolk Democrats have had plenty to cheer about on recent Election Nights, and they hope to continue the celebrating Nov. 6th.
After capturing the Supervisor position in Islip last year, Phil Nolan looks to be re-elected and hopes his fellow Democrats can capture a majority on the town board for the first time in decades.
In Brookhaven, Democrat Brian Foley seeks a second term — and hopes to increase the Democrats’ majority on the board.
And on the county legislature, where Democrats hold a 10-8 lead over Republicans, Dems are looking to gain another seat or two.
As for the top of the ticket — Suffolk County Executive Steve Levy — he was cross-endorsed by the Republican Party, so without a major opponent, there’s not much suspense in his race! But, as always, there are local races that make for interesting story lines.
I hope you join us on Election night — and hope you get out and exercise your right to vote!
Why do you keep saying Steve Levy is running unopposed? There are two minor party candidates, Peter Busacca on Integrity and Estelle Edwards in Libertarian. I know News 12 is part of a corporate Goliath, but at least give these longshot Davids their legal due. They are putting themselves out there so a million voters have a choice.
