Endorsement - Andre Sorrentino for Huntington Highway Superintendent

Andre Sorrentino was elected as Highway Superintendent of Huntington four years ago, and took over an office plagued by corruption, sloth and nepotism.  Sorrentino went right to work, hired some excellent senior staff - like Deputy Highway Superintendent George Schwertl - and got to work cleaning, patching, plowing and repaving Huntington's roadways.

By all accounts, Sorrentino has been an effective leader in the Highway department - and he tolerates no corruption, slacking or political nonsense.

The Highway staff are of all political parties - Sorrentino hires people to do the job, not play politics.

Unfortunately, Sorrentino has had to deal with a lot of politics coming from Town Hall - a lot of jealousy from the Ed Smyth staff - who resent Sorrentino's straightforward approach to getting the job done.

This past spring, the Democrats wanted to "cross-endorse" Andre Sorrentino - but in exchange for certain "concessions."  Sorrentino shut them down immediately.

Andre Sorrentino has earned another term - And Huntington is lucky to have him.
