About this listen

East Hampton Village Mayor Jerry Larsen is currently backing a herculean push to unseat nearly all 38 sitting members of the East Hampton Town Democratic Committee and replace them with committee members favorable to him, part of a purported effort to reshape the local party in his image. He’s also launching a Democratic primary challenge against incumbent East Hampton Supervisor Kathee Burke-Gonzalez, who has already been tapped by the current committee to be the party’s candidate in November’s race. The primary election is set for June 23, and this week, the editors are joined by reporter Jack Motz to talk about Larsen’s efforts and what it might mean for the party and the race.
