Hempstead Town Supervisor Don Clavin resigned Tuesday morning during a Town Board meeting.

The Republican had served as supervisor since 2019 and was elected to three terms in office.

Clavin announced earlier this year he would not seek a fourth term.

The town has already sworn in his replacement, Republican Legislator John Ferretti.

Ferretti had already been named as the GOP’s nominee to run for supervisor in November.

Ferretti will serve as interim supervisor until then.

As News 12 has reported, a new bill introduced last week would have required a special election to fill a town supervisor vacancy.

Ferretti will run for a full term against Democrat Joe Scianablo.
