Call Democrat David Gruber a one day wonder.

Last Friday, a day after filing nominating petitions, Gruber declined to run for East Hampton Town supervisor in a June 25 Democratic primary.

But Gruber accepted the nomination to run on the Independence Party line in the November race against Democratic Town Supervisor Peter Van Scoyoc, who is seeking a second term, and Republican Supervisor candidate Richard Myers.
