I would like to take this opportunity to let the voters of Williston Park know a little about the three candidates running for office in the upcoming village election on March 18.

Joseph Connelly is running for mayor. Joe has always given his time to our village. He has a smile for everyone and concern for their problems large or small. Joe has a rare kindness about him and has the qualities to make him an excellent choice for mayor.

Ray Masaitis is running for one of the vacant positions for trustee. I have personally known Ray for 16 years. He has been working hard in our village for our citizens young and old for many of those years. He is a quiet man with a large commitment to Williston Park. We need people like Ray to help Williston Park continue to be a great place to live.

Rocco Iannerelli is also running for trustee. He is a dedicated man who is proud to be a resident of Williston Park. Rocco would like to be part of the team striving to keep Williston Park the great small town it is. Rocco has been a loyal, hardworking resident ready to make the commitment to serve our community.

I strongly urge you, the residents, to get out on March 18 and vote for the candidates of the Integrity Party - Connolly for mayor, Masaitis and Iannarelli for trustees.
