Maria Moore, our current Southampton Town supervisor, is doing an excellent job. And she deserves to be reelected in the upcoming fall election.

My strong belief is based on facts. To start nine years ago, Maria became mayor of Westhampton Beach Village. During that period, Maria has demonstrated strong leadership by transforming Main Street. The revitalization included a new, expanded septic/water system, removal of hanging electrical wires, multiple tree plantings, and reconfigured parking spaces. Traffic flow significantly improved, too, with two new roundabouts at each end of the street.

The result being more restaurants/shops could be established, the village looked most attractive as a Hampton, and parking was more accessible/easier. Managing the budget, daily personal construction inspections, and expediting legal/permit issues were all firmly executed, too. More than that, when the village project was completed, local residents took special pride in being part of Westhampton Beach, and still do.

Her active leadership has continued as town supervisor. She is advancing clean water initiatives, curbing harmful sand mining and delivering a balanced budget. Ms. Moore has strengthened services such as expanding police protection while also preserving Southampton’s AAA bond rating.

On a personal level, I have worked with Maria on several projects. Always have I found her very receptive, informative and willing to assist. Yes, always willing to engage. Indeed, her honesty, hard work and well-received practical solutions bodes well for the town’s future.

Lastly, understand that Westhampton/Remsenburg is at the western end of the township. Maria makes every effort to attend all those more remote live meetings, multi-organization Zoom sessions and seems always ready to address individual concerns.

Though Maria Moore’s election is uncontested, a large number of yes votes will help secure her support for years to come. See you November 4 at the polls.
