Who Should Run Against Vecchio?

Smithtown Supervisor said he will seek a 13th term. But who, Republican or Democrat, should he face?

Long Island's longest sitting town supervisor, Smithtown's Patrick Vecchio, has his eye on a record 13th term in office. But whether he wins one depends on whether he can once more get more votes than his opponents.

But who exactly will those opponents be?

As news of Vecchio's plans continue to engage Patch readers in our Smithtown communities, we'd like everyone to take a moment and let us know who they think should run against the supervisor. It could be a Republican you'd like to see challenge him in a primary or a Democrat you hope takes him on in a general election. We'll keep this list going for about a week and then we'll create a poll to find out who the most popular candidates are in town.
