Joan Cergol, Council Member, Town of Huntington

DEMOCRATIC

Cergol, 58, of Huntington, is running on the Democratic, Working Families, Independence and Green party lines. Cergol is seeking her first four-year term as a Town Board member. She was appointed to the seat in December 2017 for an unexpired term. She ran for the last year of the four-year term in 2018.

ISSUES:

• She said she wants to limit government spending and user fees. She said she has been successful in bringing in more than $20 million in outside grant funding to the town to help finance capital improvement projects, including $1.7 million for the planned parking terrace in Huntington Village and $1.5 million for the James D. Conte Community Center in Huntington Station.
• Cergol said she will continue to improve cooperation and communication both inside and outside of Town Hall to reduce resident frustrations and expedite bureaucracy.
• She said she will continue to sponsor programs that take care of the town's fragile populations such as our seniors, youth, veterans, disabled and minority communities.
