Catherine, a lifelong resident of the North Fork, has been in public service her entire life, first as an educator encouraging young minds and then as a Riverhead Town Councilwoman fighting for the community. As Councilwoman, she formed the Riverhead Downtown Revitalization Committee as well as the Environmental Advisory Committee, which continues to serve as an ongoing resource for the facilitation of water conservation and environmental stewardship. As County Legislator, she will help families by holding the line on taxes, getting our fair share from Albany, and keeping the cost of living down. She will work to protect our air and water and continue fighting for the preservation of open space. A proven leader, Catherine will be a strong, independent voice for the residents of Suffolk County.
