Candidates Debate Saturday

The East Hampton Star and the East Hampton Group for Good Government will co-host a debate with candidates for supervisor and town board on Saturday from 2 to 4 p.m. at the Emergency Services Building in East Hampton.

Tom Knobel, the Republican Party’s candidate for supervisor, along with Margaret Turner and Lisa Mulhern-Larsen, the party’s candidates for town board, will join Supervisor Larry Cantwell, Councilman Peter Van Scoyoc, and Councilwoman Sylvia Overby, incumbent Democrats facing re-election.

Each candidate will provide a one-minute presentation of their qualifications and main ideas for the town and the board. A series of prepared questions for the candidates will follow, with each given up to one minute to answer. The candidate asked to answer first will rotate so that all candidates will have an opportunity to be the first and the last to answer questions. Members of the audience will be asked to submit written questions.

Election Day is Nov. 3.
