I am writing this letter to support Bridget Fleming, who is running for the U.S. Congress from District 1 on Election Day, November 8.
I have had the opportunity to follow Bridget’s career since 2010, when she was elected to the Southampton Town Board. I have continually been impressed by her common sense, intelligence and hard work.
Suffolk County is home to a large veteran population, and I personally know veterans who have to choose daily between purchasing food or essential medications. Bridget supports expanded funding for veteran benefits.
Bridget Fleming has continuously worked to protect our aquifer, which is the sole source of our drinking water. She is an environmentalist who supports expanded funding for Lyme disease research.
Bridget Fleming will bring common sense solutions to Washington, D.C.

Upon first reading Michael Wright’s article in the July 3 Southampton Press [“Shinnecock Nation to Southampton: Take Down Our Seal — We’re Done Talking,” 27east.com, July 2], what first came to our attention was his use of the word “confrontational”...
Congratulations to our local radio hosts Gary Sapiane and Bill Evans of radio station WLNG. They have just been inducted into the New York State Broadcasters Hall of Fame. I only can say that it’s about time they were recognized....
When my children (12, 9) ask about politics, our discussion often begins with a question: What do you value? Kindness is big for them. Also, trust. Fairness. Music (in general), Dylan and Swift (in particular). Lately, “being heard” is trending...
