Suffolk County District Attorney Ray Tierney

Suffolk County District Attorney Ray Tierney, along with Nick LaLota, a Republican seeking election in the First Congressional District, and Alison Esposito, who is in the running for the role of New York State's lieutenant governor on Lee Zeldin's ticket, will hold a community event addressing crime, quality of life, and criminal justice on Wednesday evening.

Titled "Save Our State," the presentation will include a discussion of a recent bipartisan poll conducted by Campaign Strategy and Consulting that found that East Enders are extremely concerned about crime in their communities.

Also including meet-and-greet and question-and-answer sessions with the panelists, the free event will take place at 7 p.m. at the Westhampton Beach V.F.W. Post at 101 Old Riverhead Road. Food and beverages will be served. R.S.V.P.s are required and can be done by sending an email to [email protected].
