Bipartisanship went quad this week when the chairmen of four political parties were honored by the Huntington Township Business Council at an event held in the Founder’s Room of Huntington’s Paramount.

The evening of schmoozing, networking and political power brokering was a fundraiser for HTBC, a political action committee whose members support legislation, policy and candidates for elected office whose views align with the promotion of business in the town, county and region.

Party leaders who often find themselves on opposite sides of political aisles, gathered with HTBC co-chairs to commemorate the evening’s multi-partisanship with a photo.
