Background
My legal experience is broad but it has a common theme; I am committed to meeting challenges with hard work and integrity. My work as a local defender of East Hampton’s middle class families, my advocacy for working class immi- grants as counsel to OLA, and my background in international human rights law gives me the experience as well as the perspective to uniquely serve this Town and to apply the law fairly, competently and with a strong sense of social justice.
The Strong family is delighted to be making their life here in East Hampton and are committed to our Town’s long-term well being. Andrew and his wife, Rachael Faraone, have made Springs their home with their three small children — Max 3, Henry 5, and Ella 1.
