Smithtown Democrats have announced they've chosen a political newcomer from Nesconset to run for town supervisor this November.
Newsday reports Steven Snair, 31, received the party's nomination for Smithtown Supervisor on Wednesday, after going through a screening process with the town's democratic committee on Tuesday night.

Snair graduated from Kings Park High School in 1999 and LIU Post in 2004. He is a lawyer whose practice specializes in foreclosures and landlord-tenant disputes with a law degree from Widener University School of Law in Harrisburg, Pa.
