With a handshake and a “Hello,” Tom Knobel, the Republican candidate for East Hampton Town supervisor, introduced himself to a few dozen folks on Tuesday morning at One Stop Market in East Hampton. His hope was to put a face to the name for those who had heard his radio advertisements on the air locally, and to get his name out to those who had not.
“I’m a walking billboard,” he joked to a reporter who joined him at about 7:30 a.m., in the thick of the morning rush hour at the mom-and-pop market.
