Port Washington Police Commissioner Sean McCarthy announced on Tuesday, Feb. 3, that he is running for North Hempstead Town supervisor, launching a campaign ahead of a 2026 election that will take place under New York’s newly restructured local election calendar.
The 2026 supervisor race will be held in an even-numbered year, following a 2023 state law that moved many town and county elections outside New York City from odd- to even-numbered years. The law was unanimously upheld by the New York Court of Appeals in October 2025.
