I'm Anthony Portesy, Democratic Candidate for Brookhaven Town Highway Superintendent. In 2017, my grassroots campaign shook up the political establishment. Walking door to door meeting thousands of Brookhaven residents from the Centereach to Center Moriches resulted in meeting many voters who are disenchanted with the Highway Department leadership. Almost 40,000 voters from all political stripes supported me in my efforts to bring transparency to our government.
