Joseph L. Fritz, Town Clerk, Town of Islip

DEMOCRATIC

Fritz, 74, an attorney, is running on the Democratic and Libertarian party lines. He is a former member of the Brentwood school board and the town's Zoning Board of Appeals.

ISSUES:

• Fritz said the clerk's office should be more political in town matters such as development.
• Fritz said he would use the clerk's office namely to oppose two large development projects that would bring thousands of new apartments to the town: Island Hills golf course in Sayville and the Heartland Town Square development on the former Pilgrim State Psychiatric Center in Brentwood.
