35 year Stony Point resident Jim Monaghan has a busy schedule. Beyond his two children, his wife and his brand new granddaughter, he currently serves as the Stony Point Supervisor. The Supervisor role is a job that is not your normal 9 to 5. His calendar is packed with events in and around Stony Point, and through a simple conversation it quickly becomes obvious how much Monaghan enjoys his ability to have a direct impact on his community. Monaghan comes from a background of community service, albeit as a law enforcement officer rather than on a town board. Monaghan spent 29 years in New York City working for the NYPD before he retired from the police force in 2014. Within a year, he ran for Town Council Supervisor. Monaghan mentioned that at the time of his first run he did not see himself “…as a politician, or [as] a political person”. 10 years later working as Stony Point’s Town Supervisor, Monaghan says “I still don’t consider myself a politician”. He sees himself instead as a man who has spent much of his life in Stony Point and sees the role as an “opportunity to help the town that (he) lives in”.
