Bonnie Brady, Council Member, Town of East Hampton

DEMOCRATIC

Brady, 56,  is running on the Independence, Conservative and Libertarian lines and is endorsed by a coalition of Democratic, Republican, unaffiliated voters and other parties known as the "fusion" slate. This is her first run for public office.

ISSUES:

• Affordable housing is the No. 1 issue for Brady, who said “we in essence have lost an entire generation of East Hampton Town residents” because young people can’t afford a place to live.
• Brady would like to see the town play a bigger role in remediating water contamination and preventing the contamination of private drinking wells.
• Brady said she would like the town to provide improved transportation and other services for its growing senior population.
