Candidate Questionnaire Responses

When in office, what will you do to reduce harm and ensure there is social and economic equity for Black Long Islanders? If you are an incumbent, what policies/initiatives/laws have you supported that do this?

The Town Clerk's Office is a gateway to town services and for information regarding County, State and Federal agencies that may also be of assistance regarding a large variety of matters. While I am not the incumbent Town Clerk (the position is currently vacant) I have served as an appointed as well as an elected public official in a number of governmental positions, including as a Suffolk County Legislator. I have also served as a member of the Smithtown Anti-Bias Task Force and the Suffolk County Anti-Bias Task Force. If elected on November 7, I will, as I have demonstrated during decades of public service, to be respectful and fair to everyone.

Is there anything else you'd like us to know about your campaign?
