Voters have an important decision to make in local elections this year in the Town of Southampton. As the co-chair of the Suffolk County Working Families Party, I am proud to have several excellent candidates on our ballot line, including Sara Topping and Jimmy Mack for Town Trustee. However, two of our endorsed candidates, Mark A. Bernardo, who is running for town clerk, and Tom Neely, who is running for Town Council, are not on our ballot line. That’s because a group of individuals petitioned themselves onto the ballot, forced a primary and, unfortunately, won the primary. None of them ... 27 Oct 2025 by Staff Writer

VIEWPOINT: Carbon Prayer

By Ella Gatfield Under exceptionally good viewing conditions, if a person has 20/20 vision, they can see the Triangulum Galaxy. At around 3 million light-years away, it is thought to be one of the farthest objects visible from Earth by the human eye. If I look to the horizon from land or water, with an unobstructed view, I can see only a few miles into the distance. Bound by this irregularly shaped ellipsoid, everything past the horizon line curves out of view. Wishful, I look to the night sky, then I sigh — releasing atoms of carbon into the world. ... by Ella Gatfield

Total Competence

Professional. Competent. Cross-endorsed. Bipartisan. Spectacular. Knowledgeable. Outstanding. Efficient. Integrity. Thoughtful. Throughout this election cycle, these words have been expressed by many Southampton Town voters describing Sundy Schermeyer, current Southampton Town clerk. We completely agree.

We are in the midst of a very important election in our communities, and I want to encourage you to take advantage of your responsibility as a citizen and vote in this election, and future ones.

They are two incumbents: Rick Martel and Cynthia McNamara, both on both the Republican and Conservative tickets; and Tom Neely, on the Democratic ticket. I ... by Staff Writer

Vote Neely

With growing national and local attention to noise and physical pollution produced by gas-powered leaf and grass blowers, I watched the debate between the three Southampton Town Council candidates [“VIDEO: Express News Group Hosts Virtual Southampton Town Debate,” 27east.com, October 16]. Only Tom Neely seemed at all interested in this important quality-of-life issue. The other two felt there was no use, even in continuing with Southampton’s existing restrictive laws. Tom Neely gets my vote. Mike and Claire Piliero Hampton Bays by Staff Writer
