Bridget Fleming has done a great job as our Suffolk County legislator since 2016, and she deserves another term to continue her good work on our behalf.
I know Bridget and I can tell you that she is smart, very hardworking and a very effective leader … just look at the results that she has achieved.
As a champion of the East End’s cherished and fragile natural environment, Bridget has sponsored and co-sponsored several vital pieces of legislation to protect our water, our coastal resources, our open spaces and so much more.
Here are a few specific areas where Bridget has achieved positive results: wastewater treatment improvements, septic improvement programs, affordable housing initiatives, initiatives combating opiates, initiatives combating tick-borne diseases, renewable energy Initiatives, public transportation improvements, providing help for disabled vets, efforts to reduce the cost of utilities through Community Choice Aggregation.
Bridget’s focus has been and continues to be on these four issues: our environment, our economy, our safety, and honest and transparent government here in Suffolk County. As our elected legislative leader from the 2nd District, her territorial responsibility is vast, spanning from Moriches to Montauk. Through her hard work, she has represented all of her constituents very well over the years.
I urge you to visit Bridget’s website, FlemingforLegislature.com, to learn more. And I hope that you will join me and vote for Bridget Fleming in November.
