Congressman Nick LaLota Endorses Huntington Republican Team

“I’m proud to endorse three leaders who embody the values I learned during my 11 years in the Navy—honor, integrity, and an unwavering commitment to something greater than oneself: Huntington Town Supervisor Ed Smyth, Councilman Dr. Dave Bennardo, and Greg Grizopoulos for Town Board. They’ve earned my trust—and they’ve earned your vote.

The Smyth team exemplifies unwavering common sense conservative principles and a commitment to serving Huntington with integrity:

Huntington Supervisor Ed Smyth, a fellow Veteran and common sense conservative, has delivered the steady, principled leadership that Huntington deserves. While others talk, Ed consistently delivers— stopping overdevelopment and improving quality of life– with record investments in road paving, park and beach upgrades and the infrastructure needed to support the reliable municipal services our residents depend on.

Councilman Dr. Dave Bennardo, a former high school principal and district superintendent with decades of leadership fighting for our families and the future of our communities, has earned re-election as a partner to Supervisor Smyth over the past three years, keeping town taxes low, stopping overdevelopment, and making local government more efficient.

Greg Grizopoulos, a Melville father of three, is active in community groups and youth sports in the Town of Huntington. He is invested in protecting Huntington's quality of life and delivering a fully transparent and accountable government. As a former Assistant District Attorney and seasoned criminal prosecutor, Greg is the kind of no-nonsense public servant who will keep our neighborhoods safe and improve services while keeping taxes low.

Together, they offer proven conservative leadership and a strong track record of delivering real results—especially on public safety and preserving the suburban quality of life we cherish. That’s why I’m proud to join both the Republican and Conservative Parties in endorsing their candidacies.”
