The next representative from the 1st Congressional district has to do more. And that person is Bridget Fleming, currently the East End Suffolk County legislator.
Her background, accomplishments and determination to get results speaks for itself. Let me review those areas that she has a specific platform. They include:
Improved economy, protecting the environment, building clean energy, expanded health care system, seniors/Social Security, veterans, equitable tax system, curbing gun violence, and working with LGBTQ community.
See for your yourself — go to BridgetforCongress.com and learn more. I have personally met Bridget many times and strongly believe she has the energy, ability, and commitment to make the difference in your personal lifestyle. She did in mine, particularly in the area of environment, health care, and Social Security. I promise that you will find similar results if you seek help from her. Note: she is very accessible.
While at the voting booth in November, also consider strongly her companion candidates seeking office, who are Fred W. Thiele Jr. (longtime active East End State Assembly member) and Skyler Johnson, running for State Senate position in the same Eastern Long Island region. Plus, Kathy Hochul for governor and Proposition #3 for the Community Housing Fund. All are very worthy of your vote.
Most important, do vote on November 8. The country needs citizen participation now more than ever.

A Clear Path NeededSeems like unless we are native to Paumanok, we have immigrated to what is now called Long Island. My grandparents on my mother’s side arrived to New York from Ireland in 1913, escaping from labor disputes, violence and a fallen...
Sly and UnderhandedThe other day, I was driving home on Route 27 to my little piece of heaven on earth, a/k/a Hampton Bays, and was thinking of the “BESS Mess” and the town’s unbelievable attitude and behavior toward my hamlet lately. Despite...
Standing Up to Status QuoThis June, Southampton Village residents will have the opportunity to choose the direction of our village. The choice is simple. Does the village want a 5-0 super-majority controlled and backed by one powerful, wealthy group and association? Or does it...
A Night To RememberAs we prepare to cast our vote in the upcoming election, I feel it important to recall the defining incident in the recent mayoral term and reflect upon it before making any decision. What happened that night was quite simply...
Blight in SightThere is a supervisor named Jay who said Bel-Aire will come down in a day and you will see the beautiful bay, but (five years later) in the light, a terrible sight, all you can see is blight. Jim Dreeben...
Seek To UnderstandWhatever happens with this Marsden vote, I’ll be happy to move on. Did we forget that it’s okay to disagree without being disagreeable? Running our schools is a complex endeavor. The board members are volunteers. They spent countless (thankless) hours...
