Former Suffolk County Legislator Al Krupski (D-Cutchogue) replaced Republican Southold Town Supervisor Scott Russell, ex-Riverhead Town Councilman Timothy Hubbard took over for fellow Republican Riverhead Town Supervisor Yvette Aguiar, ex-Republican Shelter Island Town Councilwoman Amber Brach-Williams succeeded Democratic Shelter Island Town Supervisor Gerry Siller, ex-East Hampton Town Councilwoman Kathee Burke-Gonzalez assumed the seat of fellow Democrat East Hampton Town Supervisor Peter Van Scoyoc, and former Westhampton Beach Village Mayor Maria Moore replaced fellow Democratic Southampton Town Supervisor Jay Schneiderman.
