Lindenhurst Village Deputy Mayor Kevin McCaffrey began his campaign for the recently vacated seat in the Suffolk County Legislator with a press conference outside Lindenhurst Village Hall.
“We still face many challenges in our south shore communities and as we do in Suffolk County,” said McCaffrey, the Republican candidate for the seat opened when Legislator Wayne Horsley (D–Babylon) said he would be leaving his position for a job with the state parks office.
“I promise, as your Suffolk County Legislator, I will continue to make sure all the residents of Suffolk County, especially those in the 14th District, would have the things get done for them the right way.”
McCaffrey has served the village as a trustee for some 20 years over six terms and currently serves as the deputy mayor of Lindenhurst.
“This tenure has provided me with the experience that is invaluable as I serve as your Suffolk County legislator,” McCaffrey said. “I would like to bring that experience to Suffolk County.”
“This is a historic day,” said John Jay LaValle, Suffolk County Republican Committee Chairman. “We’re step-by-step putting a team together to take back our legislature and take back our local governments... we’re growing from the bottom up.”
LaValle continued, “Kevin McCaffrey is going to win this race. We have an individual who has stepped forward... a 30-year resident of this community who has served the village government for over 20 years.”
“He’s what we need right now.”
