A happy man with a gentle smile

CLARKSTOWN, NY — David Bruen, a lifelong Clarkstown resident, announced his candidacy for the Rockland Legislature in District 11.

In an email to supporters, Bruen wrote, “I want to give back to this community in our county legislature because Rocklanders deserve a government that can respond to our affordability, housing, sustainability, and overdevelopment challenges.” A twenty-one year-old Democrat, Bruen was born in Suffern, attended Clarkstown public schools, and was raised in West Nyack.

As for his priorities, Bruen added, he plans to “fight to protect our water supply, improve our local infrastructure, and champion more middle-class housing.”

Bruen is no stranger to public service. As a proud Eagle Scout, he has a track record of public service and problem-solving. At Syracuse University, he serves as student body president where he represents 15,000 students.

During his two terms, he has organized a student-run bus service to combat Syracuse’s food desert and ensure students have access to healthy food, and invested $120,000 to make menstrual products free on campus. Moreover, he led a team that developed a report recommending Syracuse University become carbon-neutral by 2030, which would advance the goal by a decade.

In Rockland County, he now serves as the treasurer of the Rockland County Democratic Committee, and has previously worked in constituent services for former Congresswoman Nita Lowey and former State Senator David Carlucci.

Legislative District 11 includes Upper Nyack, Valley Cottage, and Congers. The district is currently represented by Laurie Santulli, an independent, who is not seeking reelection.

From cracking down on illegal housing, to keeping our town finances in check, to keeping our families safe with the top ranked police department in the state, expanding our parks and recreation offerings for all residents, protecting and improving our environment, securing record grant funding for major infrastructure work – there is a lot for our residents and taxpayers to be proud of, and we are just getting started. I will work hard through November to earn each and every vote for re-election. I would be honored to have your vote.”

Congressman Michael V. Lawler stated, “Supervisor George Hoehmann and I work together on a daily basis for the betterment of every resident in Clarkstown.
