REPUBLICAN
Cochrane, 60, is running on the Republican, Conservative and Independence party lines. He is seeking his third four-year term.
ISSUES:
- Cochrane said he's worked on several major infrastructure projects such as the Maple Avenue corridor to the Bay Shore marina.
- His next priority is to clean up Browns River in Sayville.
- He's proud of the town's aqua-farming initiatives such as the oyster industry in the Great South Bay. "I’m a conservationist, and this helps get the nitrates and the pollution out of the water," he said.
