Election 2025

Suffolk County Legislator candidates

The race for County legislator between Democrat Greg Doroski and Republican incumbent Catherine Stark has an odd twist. Depending on the results of Proposition 2 on the ballot in Suffolk County, the winner could be back on the campaign trail next year. 

The proposition looks to extend the term for Suffolk County legislators to four years from their current two-year stint. 

If Prop 2 is approved, the elected legislator would serve a three-year term through 2028. 

If it fails, the winner will serve a one-year term and have to run again next year to get on board with the state’s move to even-year election cycles to coincide with state and federal elections.
