Bouvier, 64, is running on the Democratic and Independence party lines. Bouvier is seeking his second four-year term. Bouvier also currently sits on the Peconic Estuary Program Management Committee and the Suffolk County Superstorm Sandy Review Task Force.
ISSUES:
- Bouvier said water quality issues are important and during his term, the town established a rebate program that enabled residents to replace outdated septic systems with new Innovative and Alternative (I/A) septic systems.
- Bouvier said he is also sponsoring legislation for community choice aggregation, an energy plan that would offer residents lower costs per kilowatt-hour and the ability to choose their sources of electricity.
- Bouvier said he wants to focus on water quality and energy issues if re-elected, as well as focusing on infrastructure projects such as replacing aging cesspools across town.
