Councilwoman Catherine Kent and Supervisor Yvette Aguiar at a Times Review event on the future of Riverhead in 2019.
Riverhead Town Councilwoman Catherine Kent is the Democratic nominee for town supervisor, her party announced in a press release Tuesday night.
Ms. Kent, a first-term councilwoman and retired Riverhead school teacher, will top a Democratic ticket that will not include retiring Highway Superintendent George “Gio” Woodson.
Ms. Kent, 64, will challenge Republican incumbent Yvette Aguiar, who is seeking her second two-year term after she was nominated by her party Monday.
At its convention, which was closed to the public, the Democrats also nominated Evelyn Hobson-Womack and Juan Micieli Martinez for council and William “JR” Renten for highway superintendent.
