I have been following Bridget Fleming since she began her political career as a Southampton Town Board member and then a Suffolk County legislator. Throughout all those years, she fought hard for what the voters wanted and needed, and was always accessible to discuss issues and problems.
Bridget has especially been a champion of environmental issues. She has fought hard to preserve our beaches and coastlines. She is a strong advocate of cleaner waters and improving the water quality in our bays by fighting for upgrades to septic systems so that damaging nitrogen can be removed.
Bridget is the only candidate with the experience, knowledge and toughness to take on Lee Zeldin. She will make a great congresswoman and truly represent the people of Suffolk County, unlike the current congressman, who seems to represent only Donald Trump.
Bridget is backed by town, county and state leaders who have worked with her for many years and know her ability to solve problems and achieve results.
It is time for intelligent, independent thinking. Vote for Bridget Fleming.

“Ukraine is the corpse over which we have to step to conquer the West.” A Vladimir Putin quote? Almost right, but not quite. The actual quote was in the Moscow newspaper Pravda (“The Truth”), and it concerned Poland in 1920....
