On September 15, please vote for Kimberly Allan. Southampton Village needs leaders who are committed to its future, to putting in the work it takes to find common ground, and to making thoughtful, informed decisions. With decades of business management experience and a years-long track record of volunteering to support village causes long before becoming a trustee, Kimberly has demonstrated her commitment to this community time and again.
As you sit back and enjoy the quiet of summer this season, you have Kimberly to thank for leading the charge to ban gas blowers. Now she needs your vote so she can continue her good work.
