PATCHOGUE, NY – On Sunday, October 28th, Legislator Sarah Anker participated by recognizing runners at the 4th Annual Suffolk County Marathon held at the Family Services YMCA in Patchogue.

“It was an honor to join my colleagues and the community at the Suffolk County Marathon,” said Legislator Anker. “May we always come together to support those who have given everything to protect our country.”
