The 66 - year - old former city councilman is
running against incumbent Councilwoman Elizabeth Crowley (D - Middle Village) in the hopes of preventing a redistricting two years from now that could eliminate the relatively conservative population in the neighborhoods as a voting bloc.
Longstanding town supervisor Bert Leifeld, a Democrat who's been in town government for almost four decades now, is
running for reelection
against former
councilwoman and news correspondent Cindy Johansen, a Republican; while
incumbent councilpersons Henry Rank, a Democrat, and Peter Friedel, a Republican, will be facing Don Van Buren, a Republican, and Trenice Winne, a Democrat.
