Seek Legislator Candidate

The East Hampton Town Republican Committee will screen potential candidates for Suffolk County legislator on Wednesday at the American Legion Hall in Amagansett.

Legislator Jay Schneiderman of Montauk, first elected on the Republican ticket and now a member of the Independence Party, is serving his sixth and final two-year term in the Legislature, which has term limits. In 2013, Chris Nuzzi, then an outgoing Southampton Town councilman, ran against Mr. Schneiderman on the Republican and Conservative lines.

The Second Legislative District includes all of East Hampton and Southampton Towns, Shelter Island, and a small part of Brookhaven Town. Screenings will begin at 7 p.m. on Wednesday. Those interested in setting up an appointment have been asked to call the party’s chairman, Tom Knobel, at 875-8652.
