It's Carpenter v. Bellone. She starts with a distinct disadvantage in funding. But this race should be about more than just the size of the war chest. It should be about visions for a county that’s going through tough fiscal times, bringing in jobs, encouraging the development of housing that young working people can afford, preserving land and protecting our tourist industry, revitalizing our downtowns, finding ways to fund health clinics at a time of state funding cuts, and a long list of other concrete issues important to the average citizen. Holding onto the mantle of both the Republican and Conservative reins, Carpenter in a historic first leads the ticket in Suffolk County as the first woman to run for County Executive. She certainly has her work cut out for her following in the footsteps of Steve Levy who even today still has quite the following and an approval rating most incumbents would give their eye teeth to have.
The Smithtown Conservative Party congratulates Angie Carpenter and wishes her well in her race against the Democratic rival. .
