Good governance isn't about agreeing on everything. It's about showing up for the people who elected you — even when it's hard, even when it's messy, even when your colleagues see things differently.

Kathee Burke Gonzalez has done that, every single day.

That's why her fellow Democratic Town Board members — David Lys, Cate Rogers, and Ian Calder-Piedmonte — are endorsing her for Supervisor. They know what principled, people-first leadership looks like. They've seen it up close.

Vote Re-Elect Kathee Burke-Gonzalez Town Supervisor on June 23.

From Biddle Duke

Who wasn’t all ears when the moderator at the recent Express News Group debate between the two candidates asked Jerry Larsen what it means to him to be a Democrat?

The moderator put it like this: “What are the big D-Democratic principles, and how do you represent them better than your opponent does?”

The village mayor and now candidate for supervisor replied a bit as if he were talking about an entity quite apart from himself: “The first one” — principle — “it’s called environmental protection. That’s a big deal for Democrats.”

His reply would have benefited from an “us.”

A few observations from the bleachers at this year’s East Hampton Town supervisor election duel.
