Dear Constituents and Visitors to the 12th District:

I would like to thank all of the Constituents of the 12th Legislative District for re-electing me and my team and continuing to have faith in me as your County Legislator. I am delighted and honored to be able to offer the services of my office for my fourth consecutive term as your Legislator. Working with my knowledgeable staff, our goal is to improve the lives of you, my constituents, by providing assistance with any issue you may have and guiding you through the services offered by Suffolk County to residents.

Legislator John M. Kennedy, Jr.

I pledge to continue my mission to ensure that county government in the 12th District and across Suffolk is more than a line on your tax bill and red tape in front of your ambitions. I have led efforts to ensure that government functions efficiently and responsively to meet your needs and aid you in achieving your goals. I am honored to serve as Republican Caucus Leader and as a member of the Health Committee, member of the Ways and Means Committee and member of the Public Safety Committee.

Where the public sector stands in your way – accruing unnecessary expenses that only increase your taxes – I will seek to cut government back. Meanwhile, I aim to use our limited public assets to protect the vital resources – groundwater discharge and sewage treatment capacity, local drinking water, etc. – and robustly provide core neighborhood services - parkland preservation, crime prevention, street safety, etc. - which allow our local business and residential communities to survive and thrive.

As your Legislator, please view me as your guide and advocate to the broad array of county functions and services at your disposal. Over 1,400 of your neighbors have received guidance and assistance from my office; I invite you to join their number. My door is open to your concerns, opinions, needs and goals – come on in.

I aim to ensure that government in the 12th District is not an obstacle in your path, but a vehicle to your success and happiness. I will not rest until this is not merely my vision, but your reality.

 

Your Friend and Advocate,

John M. Kennedy, Jr.
