Bosworth, Wink, Ferrara, Russell and Seeman seek new terms BY N O A H M A N S K A R This year’s Nov. 7 election will see ďŹ ve incumbents, including four Democrats and one Republican, seeking to return to their seats in the Town of North Hempstead.

Clark said. Bosworth, a Great Neck resident and former Nassau County legislator, is seeking a third twoyear term as town supervisor.
