Gregory Fischer, Suffolk County Executive

DEMOCRATIC

Fischer, 62, is running on the Libertarian Party line. He is a semi-retired business strategist and consultant.

ISSUES:

• Fischer said he would focus on the economy, especially as the "commercial base is eroding right now." He wants to provide “comprehensive business preservation” by creating a resource center for business consulting, computer services, tax assistance and advice.
• Fischer said he wants to remediate the environment through more water testing, better water filtration and separate sewage systems for effluent and other waste. He wants to work with towns to require separating trash.
• Fischer said he wants to turn trash into boulders to create jetties and other items.
