CHRISTOPHER SPERBER

REPUBLICAN

BACKGROUND:

• Sperber, 37, of West Babylon, is making his first run for office. He also is running on the Conservative line.
• He graduated from Stony Brook, where he studied economics, and earned an MBA at St. Joseph's College in Patchogue.
• He was a senior court clerk for the state court system when he said he was fired on April 22 for not having a COVID vaccination. He now works in the family landscaping business and in private security.

ISSUES:

• Sperber said he will work to end current bail laws and work with stakeholders to develop a version that gives discretion to judges. He would work to get more training resources for police officers, to enhance community relations and to help defuse mental health situations.

• He would lift all public mandates regarding COVID-19, Sperber said. Vaccination should be a personal choice, he said.
