Respectfully, I am asking for your vote for the position of Southampton Town Supervisor. 

What is this election all about?  I think it all boils down to TRUTH and TRUST.

I am running as a candidate to provide YOU with a CHOICE.

WHO CAN YOU TRUST to provide strong, independent leadership and open, honest government?

WHO CAN YOU TRUST to restore integrity and capability to the Supervisor’s Office?  Do you want someone at the helm who represents the everyday people who live and work here, or someone who aligns herself with special interests?

I am humbled by the outpouring of support that has been shown to me as my opponent sought to tarnish my record of public service with distortions of the facts, twisted words, and politically-opportunistic manipulations.

People know that they can count on Linda Kabot to stand up for the taxpayers and to be AN INDEPENDENT VOICE of the people.

I am proud of my record of accomplishments on behalf of the people of Southampton Town, and that includes my time serving as Supervisor during the worst economic downturn that we have faced since the Great Depression.  I have demonstrated principled leadership as an elected official and delivered on the campaign platform promises made in prior elections.  Working with other members of the Town Board, I have held the line on property taxes, cut government spending, streamlined regulatory processes, ensured proactive code enforcement to safeguard neighborhoods and property values, and protected the environment.

I am grateful for the support of so many people from all walks of life, from all political stripes, throughout our Town.  For me, it’s about SERVICE ABOVE SELF.

With your vote on Tuesday, November 5, we can TAKE BACK THE TOWN from Special Interests.  Send a Message that Southampton is NOT for sale.  Send a message that the Truth Matters. Send a message that you want a Town Supervisor that truly cares about the EVERYDAY people who live and work here.

Together, we can move Southampton Town forward in the best interests of our community. 

It would be my honor to serve you once again as Town Supervisor.
