I am a registered Democrat. On Tuesday, June 22, I will be voting for Barbara Wilson as my choice for Southampton Town justice.
I am sure many of you know Barbara and the Wilson family from their lifelong membership and commitment to our community. Her father, Ernie, was a beloved and talented mechanic, World War II veteran and a great family man. Her mother, Adel Wilson, was one of the original members and chaplain of the Ladies Auxiliary to VFW Post 7009. Barbara embraces these family values and has been honored for her work by schools, various agencies and her fellow judges. Judge Wilson has served our town well as justice, community member and volunteer.
Please join me in voting for integrity, fairness and common sense on June 22 for the Honorable Barbara Wilson.
