New York State Assemblyman Fred Thiele (D-Sag Harbor) — the longest-serving East End state representative in history — will not seek re-election this fall after nearly 30 years representing the South Fork in Albany.
Thiele announced his decision on Monday, February 12, shortly before the Suffolk County Democratic and Republican committees will announce the candidates they nominate for the elections, but officials with neither party could immediately say who they plan to run to replace the longtime lawmaker.
