18th LD Candidate: William Spencer [VIDEO]

First-time candidate says he's ready to roll up his sleeves and get to work.

Centerport doctor William Spencer is looking to succeed the term-limited Democrat Jon Cooper for the 18th Legislative District seat in Suffolk County.

"This is my first time running for office, but it is too important not to run," said Spencer, last week at a candidate forum in Greenlawn.

Spencer, 44, is chief of  otolaryngology department. He and his wife, Rachel, have three children. He also serves as head of the Huntington Housing Authority, with his term expiring in June.
