TOWN OF WAPPINGER – Republican Dutchess County Legislator Joey Cavaccini is being encouraged to run for the Town of Wappinger supervisor seat in November, challenging incumbent Dick Thurston. Cavaccini, 23, has been involved in government service since being appointed as Wappinger Town Historian at the age of 12.
Many town residents have been asking Cavaccini to run for the position, and several others are talking about it. “I’m honored by the rumors going around and the increased support from the community,” he told Mid-Hudson News. “I care about the Town of Wappinger and I hate politics,” he said. “I’m always going to do the right thing for the people of the Town of Wappinger.”
Cavaccini is a lifelong resident of Wappinger and was elected to the legislature in November 2019.
