Herr, 70, is running on the Democratic and Working Families party lines. Herr is the chairman of the Southampton Town Democratic Committee, a position he has held since 2006. He also works at the Suffolk County Board of Elections.
ISSUES:
- As chairman of the town’s Democratic Committee, Herr said his achievements have included the election of a Democratic majority on the Town Board, as well as “record‐breaking fundraising and increasing voter registration."
- Herr said he wanted to focus on improving efficiency within the tax receiver’s office that could help with cost savings for the department.
- Citing his previous business experience as CEO of Ashcor New York, a provider of high-technology environmental support systems, Herr said that experience would help him run the tax receiver's office.
