Daniel P. Losquadro, Superintendent of Highways, Town of Brookhaven

REPUBLICAN

Losquadro, 47, of Shoreham, is running on the Republican, Conservative and Independence lines. He is seeking a four-year term. Losquadro was first elected in a special election in March 2013, then was re-elected in 2013, 2015 and 2017.

ISSUES:

• Losquadro is anticipating a 50% increase in the town repaving budget next year, from $10 million to $15 million. He said this will give him the resources to complete more work in 2020.
• Losquadro said he is about halfway to his goal of converting all of the town's 45,000 streetlights to LED lights. He said the conversion has saved taxpayers $320,000 this year, and his goal is to achieve annual savings of more than $500,000.
• He said the Highway Department has made a priority of cleaning the town's 1,100 recharge basins. Many clogged drains are aging and must be rid of blockages such as tree roots, he said.
