Dylan Rice

Smithtown Council
Dylan Rice

I was born in West Islip, lived in Nesconset for a year, then moved to Smithtown where I have lived ever since. I was raised in an Irish Catholic household with two wonderful parents, one older brother, and one younger sister. My family came from humble backgrounds and my parents faced many hardships growing up on Long Island. Though unfortunate, I also consider myself blessed for this, as it has been instrumental in shaping my beliefs and core convictions as a man.

I attended school within the Hauppauge School District, starting at Forest Brook Elementary and ending at Hauppauge High School. I then went on to attend SUNY Purchase, but returned home to attend Suffolk County Community College. After a year at Suffolk I then transferred to the SUNY Fashion Institute of Technology, where I am pursuing my Bachelors Degree in "Advertising and Marketing Communications" with a minor in International Politics and Economics.

Andrea Stolz

Brookhaven Town Council (5th District)
Andrea Stolz

After ten years as a military family, my husband I moved to Patchogue Village 17 years ago in order to raise our two sons near our parents and close to the beaches and parks we grew up exploring. I am a credentialed Parent Peer Advocate and Parent Educator with ten year's experience in Suffolk County's children's mental health system. My life has been centered around helping families--first my own, as my oldest son has an autism diagnosis and my younger son lives with a primary autoimmune disorder--then other families within the mental health world. At the same time, I supported my parents as they aged in place and helped them navigate the hospice system. Now I hope to help families throughout Brookhaven so that our town is an even better place to live and raise a family.
