Election 2011: Scott M. Horowitz, Town Trustee Candidate

Horowitz, whose name will appear on the Republican, Conservative and Independence party lines, graduated from Hampton Bays Schools and Southampton College where he holds a Bachelor Degree in Environmental Studies.

Horowitz is currently the president and co-founder of Shore Line Insurance Agency, Inc., a general insurance agency employing 10 people since 1988 as well as president of Pine Neck Landing Homeowners Association, director of the East Quogue Chamber of Commerce, president of Shinnecock Marlin and Tuna Club since 2001, and founder and chairman of Hamptons Offshore Invitational to benefit Big Brothers Big Sisters of Long Island.

Horowitz in his own words:

I love this country! I think we can make it even greater and stronger one community at a time. I have always believed that it is important to be a solid citizen in our community. As an individual resident, I have helped to preserve some of the maritime traditions and heritage, assisted in the maintaining of jobs and commerce and helped to promote maritime safety and water quality.  I also did what was necessary to assist in the mentoring of children in our town, since it is imperative that they are actively encouraged to stay on the right track.

I took these issues on and, in the best interest of us all, achieved positive results. I simply believed it was the right thing to do. I expect that type of dedication and commitment to the public, from all of our elected officials.  My track record proves I can make a difference. I will put my energy, experience and true dedication to use in the best interests of the people of the Town of Southampton if elected Southampton Town Trustee. 

We have serious issues and challenges facing our traditions and quality of life.  I am prepared to accept these challenges and deal with the issues. It would be an honor and a privilege to serve as Southampton Town Trustee.
