Democratic
BACKGROUND:
- Makowski, 61, of Wading River, is making her first bid for public office. She also is running on the Working Families line.

- She graduated from Dowling College with a degree in information systems.
ISSUES:
- Makowski said she would focus on setting up standard procedures for timely release of agenda information prior to meetings so people have time to look at what’s upcoming.

- She said she favors holding more regularly scheduled evening meetings to make it easier for residents to do business.
