Message From the Chair

August 2021

Dear Committee Members and Friends,

Thank you for visiting the website of the Southampton Town Democratic Committee!

This year, we have Southampton Town and Suffolk County elections and we have an outstanding slate of candidates. They are Bridget Fleming for County Legislature, Jay Schneiderman for Town Supervisor, Tommy John Schiavoni for Town Council, Robin Long for Town Council, Tom Neely for Town Highway Superintendent, Adam Grossman and Shari Oster for Town Justices and for Town Trustees Bill Pell, Ann Welker, Andrew Brosnan, Martha Reichert and Will Peckham.

We have a super-majority on the Town Board and we have over 3,000 more registered Democrats than any other political party. We are doing and intend to continue to do what’s best and right for the entire Town and all its residents. Our Democratic elected officials have a stellar record of protecting the environment, improving our water quality, preserving open space, holding the line on property taxes and providing regional leadership during the pandemic. For more information on our past and current achievements, please click HERE.

The world-class natural environment of the South Fork is especially important to life in our community. We must work hard to preserve it and ensure the quality of life for all our residents. As the Southampton 1999 Comprehensive Plan stated: “Southampton’s unique scenic quality and sense of place is derived from the interrelationship between rural farmlands, areas of undeveloped open space, water frontage . . . and the hamlet centers.  This rural character, graced with significant natural and historical resources, is the quality that maintains its vitality as a resort, second home and visitor attraction, and an attractive place to live and work.”

The Southampton Town Democrats are your strongest allies in protecting the value of your home and your quality of life in the Hamptons. You need our help to preserve what you value about Southampton and we need your help to do that. We are asking you to volunteer to ensure that our Democratic candidates are re-elected or elected on November 2^nd. Whether it’s phone-banking, door-knocking, or any other way you can be of service, we would very much welcome your participation in this process. To volunteer, please go to our sign-up page HERE. Finally, please VOTE – early voting starts on Saturday, October 23^rd and ends on Sunday, October 31^st. For information on voter registration, absentee ballot applications and other election-related information, please go to SHDEMS.org/vote.

Please contact me if you have any questions or if you’d like more information. In the meantime, please visit our campaign website www.yourtownyourfuture.com

Thank you in advance for your support and everything that you do for the Democratic Party.

Kindest regards,

Gordon Herr
