Leigh-Ann Barde Credit: Bob Sorensen
DEMOCRATIC
Barde, 34, is running on the Democratic and Libertarian party lines.
ISSUES:
- Barde said she's tired of Central Islip and Brentwood "getting ignored" by the town board and seeks to bring representation.
- She said the taxes have increased though the communities are not benefiting — "our parks are pretty despicable," she said.
- She wants to curb development and improve the town's environmental stewardship.
