I’m writing to express my support for the reelection of Barbara Wilson as Southampton Town justice.
I was fortunate to be her law clerk for a number of years and witness firsthand how much she cares for this community. In all she does, she exemplifies honesty, integrity and fairness.
Judge Wilson currently serves as justice to both the Southampton Town and Southampton Village courts. Additionally, she donates her time to numerous charities and organizations, one of which is the Southampton Town Youth Court program. Her guidance and advice to the children participating in the program have been invaluable. She has shared her passion for justice with the next generation and has led many of them, including my own daughter, to pursue a career in law.
Judge Barbara Wilson has unmatched experience. She has been on the bench for over two decades. Additionally, her honest and pragmatic understanding of our community’s problems and needs, as well as her willingness to listen, set her far apart from other candidates.
Therefore, I am writing today to express my support for her campaign and my intention to vote for the reelection of Barbara Wilson in the upcoming election for Southampton Town justice and to spread word to others of the value of her policies, experience and abilities.
