Although I don’t live in Southampton Village, I support and shop in the village on a daily basis. I’ve connected with store owners throughout the years, getting to know these merchants, as well as local village officials.
A debate for mayor and trustees was held on Friday at the Southampton Arts Center, hosted by the Press News Group and the Southampton Association. Thank you, Joe Shaw, for moderating this informal but very informative conversation among the candidates. A job well done!
A job well done by all candidates, especially Joseph McLoughlin, member of the Southampton Village Planning Commission—so knowledgeable, expressing true sentiments for doing only the best for the village.
Another impressive candidate is Jesse Warren. Jesse, a member of the Southampton Village Planning Commission, is very articulate and knowledgeable about the village, focusing on the future to uplift and bring vibrancy back to Southampton Village.
Vote on June 21:
Jesse Warren for mayor.
Joseph McLoughlin for trustee.
