The two villages in southeast Naasau County will hold elections for their boards of trustees in March, with the Village of Farmingdale likely to have a newly elected official.
Two trustee positions are up for grabs in both the Village of Farmingdale and the Village of Massapequa Park for the March 18 election.
In Farmingdale, Trustees Cheryl Parisi and Craig Rosasco’s terms are set to expire, with only Parisi running for reelection. Rosasco has put his name in the running for the village justice, running unopposed.
Allison Ingram is running to replace Rosasco as a trustee on the board. She has never been an elected official and has lived in Farmingdale for her entire life.
Ingram has an associate’s degree from Nassau Community College and has worked as a legal secretary for Cravith, Swaine & Moore, awhite-shoe law firmbased in New York City, for over 28 years.
She said she moved to the village from South Farmingdale in 2014 and said she loves how tight-knit the village is.
“We walk everywhere with the kids and I have a really strong sense of pride to be part of such a tight-knit community,” she said.
As an elected official, Ingram said she wants to be approachable to community members and wants to continue the success of the village.
“I feel very strong about Farmingdale,” she said. “I think the village has come a long way and is doing so well and it would be an honor to serve. Farmingdale is part of who I am.”
Ingram said she has attended several village meetings in recent months to get a sense of what it is like to serve.
