CANDIDATES FOR VILLAGE TRUSTEE
Scott W. Hunsinger
Brockport For You
As a candidate for Village Trustee, it has been my pleasure to speak with so many residents of our great Village of Brockport. Throughout these conversations, several key concerns have consistently emerged: keeping taxes under control, maintaining and improving our infrastructure, and fostering collaborative and civil leadership.
As a former Trustee, I am confident in my ability to hit the ground running on day one. My experience has prepared me to bring stability, cooperation, and thoughtful leadership back to the Board. I am committed to attending every meeting prepared, informed, and ready to discuss the business of the Village with professionalism and respect.
Having seen firsthand the condition of our storm sewer system, I know we must work together to develop a comprehensive plan that addresses our infrastructure needs proactively rather than reactively. The future of Brockport depends on responsible planning and investing in the systems that support our community.
Fiscal responsibility must remain a priority, but balancing the budget also requires pursuing every available source of revenue. Ensuring that proper paperwork is completed and that we fully understand the required processes will be essential to securing all sales tax revenue generated by purchases at our two local marijuana dispensaries.
I am proud to call Brockport home and would be honored to once again serve this amazing community. My priority will always be to work together in a civil, respectful, and informed manner to make decisions that strengthen our Village and benefit all residents.
Sandeep Singh
Independent Brockport
My name is Sandeep Singh, and I am running for trustee as an independent candidate. We have lived in Brockport for 33 years, where my two children were born and raised. They attended BCSD schools. Now, my wife Shea and I are happy empty nesters.
I have worked at SUNY Brockport for the past 33 years, where I am a Professor of Finance in the Business School. My volunteer activities over the years have included Junior Achievement, Board of Directors of a federal credit union, and, currently, Lifespan’s Financial Management program, where I help the elderly manage their personal finances.
I was appointed to the Village Board last year. During that time, as part of the Budget Committee, we were able to keep the tax increase within the cap after many years. I am also part of the team that is recommending a tiered pricing system for water/sewer rates based on usage. Most village residents should see a decline in their rates.
If voters decide to keep me for two more years, I will work tirelessly to:
- Bring stability to village taxes
- Revamp the grant-writing capabilities of the village
- Focus on water/sewer and recreational area projects
- Work with village merchants to find solutions for downtown revitalization
I would also like more civility in our conversations, especially relating to village matters, and I promise to lead by example. I would like to encourage all village residents to engage with their Village Board about their thoughts/concerns, and remember to vote on June 16.
CANDIDATES FOR VILLAGE JUSTICE
William G. Andrews, Jr.
Justice for All
A local court is not a commodity. While all courts must impartially apply the law, how that is done matters. I am privileged to work with clerks who handle their duties efficiently and attendants who keep you safe.
My résumé includes 12 years of experience as a Village Justice, decades as a senior manager at large institutions, and 12 years as a local business owner, to earn your vote for a fourth term. Unfortunately, the current focus on the Court’s financial impact obscures its greater community good. But since we have to talk about money, and in support of my candidacy and my tenure as judge, here are some facts:
For the first 11-½ years of its existence, no one in the Village produced a financial statement showing the Court’s profit or loss, understandable since profitability is not a core measure of justice. In December 2025, the Treasurer produced an 11-year financial review of the Court in the form of an income statement that included expenses we’d never seen before. I reviewed that statement and presented the Board with a set of corrections showing that the Court pays for itself. In the intervening five months, no one has argued against any of these corrections. Sadly, misinformation persists, and no one is willing to discuss this controversy with me in public.
This is not normal. While judges are admonished to avoid public controversy, a rare exception is allowed for just this circumstance. In the absence of constructive dialogue, I simply ask for your vote on June 16, in the hope that I can continue to enjoy the privilege I’ve grown to love as your Village Justice.
Christopher R. Martin
Justice for All
Was it a lifelong dream of mine to be a judge? Not exactly. Am I passionate, and do I wish to continue my newfound passion? The answer is absolutely, unequivocally yes.
It’s been nearly ten years since I was asked by a Judge and a former Mayor if I would consider running for Judge. They referred to my lengthy service in our community, a history of fairness in the positions I have held, and both stated I would make a good Judge. I believe I am.
As Village Justice, I conduct Court sessions, hearing criminal and civil cases, evictions, parking complaints, and village code violations, as well as adjudicating dangerous dog matters. And the best part of the job is officiating weddings and sharing the bright spot in people’s day.
To enhance my experience, I have served on the Executive Board of the Monroe County Magistrates Association for the past eight years. Recently, I was appointed to a five-year term on the NYS Advisory Committee for Judicial Ethics.
I enjoy speaking in the community. I have lectured at Brockport High School in the Criminal Justice classes about the role of a Judge. We’ve hosted a mock murder trial for 8th graders, and we welcome school-age youngsters to the Courthouse to learn about fairness and justice.
I continue to invest in myself with training, committees, and seminars so that I can be the best Judge, administering justice with compassion, integrity, and honesty. You all have my commitment to continue my efforts for the next four years, should you allow me to do so.
