Patchogue Mayor Paul Pontieri (left) wants no part a Democratic town ticket that would pit Supervisor Brian Foley against Timothy Mazzei for Mazzei’s town board seat.
While Pontieri’s name was mentioned as a potential supervisor contender if Foley were run for town board, the mayor said he would steeer clear of such a run because the resulting political fallout could harm the village. However, if Foley made an exit elsewhere, sources say Pontieri would be highly interested in a supervisor’s race.
