It has been an honor and privilege to be a candidate in this year’s election as a WRITE-IN to provide voters with a choice. Thank you to all of the voters from all walks of life, from across the political spectrum, who came out to send a message and cast their WRITE-IN ballot for me for Southampton Town Supervisor! It’s not an election without a challenger. I am proud of all the grass-roots campaign efforts and the percentage points I garnered … without even having my name listed on the official ballot line-up I received approx. 37% (unofficial results), meanwhile my opponent was in the running with three party lines (63% unofffical results). For me, this race was all about integrity and demonstrating a tireless and true commitment to public service. Congrats to the likely winners and I look forward to the scanner machine recanvass, absentee ballot tallies, and final counts over the next few weeks …
If you had advertised with the budget of the others you I am willing to bet you would have won. Don’t give up for the peoples sake.
