REPUBLICAN
Weisenberg, 45, of Shelter Island Heights, is running on the Republican line in her first bid for office. She is a real estate agent, fitness instructor and a licensed sign language interpreter.
ISSUES:
- Weisenberg is a member of the town's Water Quality Improvement Advisory Committee and said she supports a stewardship and education-based water preservation movement that encourages preserving on an individual basis as opposed to regulation.
- She favors a conservation movement to reduce the deer population and resulting tick-borne disease. She is a proponent of deer culling and dedicated burning to reduce ticks.
- To help provide more affordable housing, Weisenberg said she supports a program in which owners can be evaluated risk-free to see how their accessory cottages could become rentable units. She also supports a townwide focus on flexibility in zoning laws.
