I am deeply honored and humbled by the trust the residents of our town have placed in me by electing me to the Town Council. Winning this election is not just a personal milestone; it is a collective achievement made possible by the dedication, energy and belief of so many in our community.
To my wife, Cynthia, whose love and support carried me through every challenge, thank you for standing by me. To our committee members and volunteers who knocked on doors, made calls, wrote letters and postcards, your tireless efforts made this victory possible. To every supporter who offered encouragement, displayed a lawn sign, or spoke to a friend about our campaign, I am forever grateful.
This win belongs to all of us who believe in good government, practical solutions and getting things done for Southampton. Together, we will work to implement traffic safety and smart traffic solutions, protect our environment, and ensure that town government remains open and responsive to the people we serve.
I will serve with integrity, fairness and respect for every resident. Our campaign was built on listening, and that will continue as we move forward. I welcome your ideas, your concerns and your partnership as we build a stronger future for our town.
Thank you again for your trust and confidence. I look forward to working with all our residents to make Southampton the best it can be.
Tom Neely
Councilman-elect
