David Gruber
David Gruber is running for Supervisor, Town of East Hampton
DEMOCRATIC
Gruber, 67, is running on the Independence and Libertarian lines. He is a former Democratic Committee chairman and represents a splinter faction of Democrats who have formed a “fusion” slate of Republicans, Independence party members and unaffiliated voters in the town.
ISSUES:
- Gruber said the No. 1 issue in East Hampton Town is affordable housing and criticized the current administration’s “glacial pace” in building new units.
- He cited declining water quality as a top concern and said he supported town-funded sampling of private drinking wells.
- He stressed the need for the town to immediately complete the replacement of its emergency communications system, an aging system that occasionally has gaps in service.
