  • In his various roles, Sweeney has worked on issues such as abandoned houses and constituent affairs, especially building issues. He also has worked on Freedom of Information Law compliance in the town building and planning departments.
  • Sweeney graduated from St. Anthony’s High School in South Huntington and received a bachelor’s degree in history in 2014 from the University of Florida. He said he is enrolled at Touro Law School in Central Islip.

ISSUES:
