I was a member of the Town of Southampton’s Transportation Commission for a couple of years. During my stint, Tom Neely was its executive director. I got to know Tom and observe his management style over the course of this time.

Tom is an affable leader who gets things done. He was universally liked by all members of the commission. He was always well prepared, and he is extremely knowledgeable in the transportation field, given his many years of experience. His effectiveness was bolstered by his knowledge of how the Town of Southampton government operates and his good relationships with key members of the town’s government.

Over the course of my career, I worked for and with a large number of executives. I can honestly say that Tom ranks in the top echelon.

As I now live in the Town of Southold, I will not have the opportunity to vote in the upcoming elections for Southampton Town candidates. However, if I could, I would definitely vote for Tom Neely for Southampton Town Council.

In closing, I urge all registered voters in the Town of Southampton to vote for Tom Neely for Town Council in the fall.
