Welcome
to the Huntington Town Democratic Committee
web site. We are very happy that you
have chosen to visit us. We are very
proud of our commitment to “good government”
and to our record of supporting candidates who
live up to this promise. Historically,
we have been the party which has brought
diversity and positive change to Town
government, and, just six years ago, we
nominated the first African-American to be
elected to serve on the Town Board. While we are very proud of these
achievements, we also recognize the need to
push for continued progress on the issues that
make Huntington a great town in which to
live. Some of our infrastructure is
badly in need or repair (Route 25-A and Route
110), our workforce needs affordable housing
so that they can live where they work, and our
young people and our seniors need smaller
housing units so that they, too, can remain in
Huntington and contribute to the rich culture
of our Town. Our elected officials need our
support not only on the local level, but on
the state and national level as well. We
are facing an important election this
year. President Obama, the entire House
of Representatives, and one-third of the
Senate will be up for election. It is
going to take money, good candidates, and HARD
WORK to guarantee that the positive gains of
the past four years will be retained and
continued into the future. Our children
deserve our full devotion to their
future. We must continue to support the
humanitarian, egalitarian, and good
governmental actions of our candidates.
The future is in our hands and we must work
continuously to ensure that our goals are
achieved and kept in place to be built upon
for the benefit of our children and
grandchildren. They deserve nothing less
than our BEST effort. Please join us in
our effort to continue to make Huntington, New
York State, and the whole United States a
better, kinder, more egalitarian place to
live, work, and raise a family.
Mary Collins,
Chair
Joe Dujmic, a
local attorney and former Deputy Chief of
Staff to the Suffolk County Executive,
announced his candidacy to take on
Assemblyman James Conte. Dujmic, 32, is
running for the State Assembly in response
to the continuing increase in the cost of
living on Long Island and the need for bold
reforms in the State Capitol. “We continue
to elect the same people year after year and
have seen our property taxes skyrocket. The
Long Island Taxpayers deserve a strong,
independent voice in Albany who will
question every single unfunded mandate. If
you want to change Albany, you have to
change the people who work there.” Mr. Dujmic, who
resides in Huntington Station touts the fact
that he is a husband, father, homeowner and
life-long resident of Suffolk County and
believes that his previous government
experience in addition to his success in
running a small business make him the
perfect choice to represent Long Islanders.
“I’m running to give my neighbors the much
needed tax relief they deserve. Long
Islanders are some of the hardest working
people in the country and I refuse to allow
their hard-earned money to be sent to New
York City via Albany.” The importance of
economic development, along with the need to
take a realistic approach toward spending
will be at the forefront of Dujmic’s
campaign. “We must do all that we can to put
Long Islanders back to work. The more Long
Islanders we put back to work, the more
individuals we have buying goods and helping
to support the local economy.” Dujmic looks forward
to a spirited campaign discussing the
numerous issues facing the 10th Assembly
District, as well as all Long Islanders. “We
are at a crossroads on Long Island. It used
to be that only our young and seniors were
unable to afford living here…and that was
bad enough, but with foreclosure rates at an
all-time high, we cannot afford to wait any
longer to address all of the problems that
Long Island faces.” “Like” Joe on
