Gillibrand Backs Snair for Supervisor

SMITHTOWN, NY – Steve Snair, the Democratic, Independence, and Working Families candidate for Smithtown town supervisor, was endorsed today by United States Senator Kirsten Gillibrand.

In a statement, Sen. Gillibrand praised Snair for his vision and commitment to Smithtown’s residents. “Steve Snair will bring a new vision and fresh approach to Smithtown as supervisor. He is the right choice for our hard-working families and taxpayers.”

“It means a lot to me to receive the support of Senator Gillibrand,” said Snair. “She is a champion of New York’s middle class and a role model for all public servants. I look forward to emulating Senator Gillibrand’s work ethic and providing her with a partner in Town Hall to better Smithtown.”

The lifelong resident of Smithtown announced his candidacy for supervisor in April of this year, running on a platform of revitalizing the town through updated planning, job creation and economic development, which will grow the tax base and relieve the burden off middle class taxpayers.
