Town

Traffic expert Tom Neely was born and raised in Pittsburgh, Pa. After attending college in Ohio and working for several years in New York City and Boston, he moved to the South Fork in 1987.

From 1987 to 2004, Tom was a Vice President at Hampton Jitney, a multi-faceted transportation company serving Long Island, New York City, and markets all along the east coast. While working at the Jitney, Tom served as President of the Southampton Chamber of Commerce and on the Sag Harbor Chamber Board; was appointed by the Town Board to the Southampton Town Comprehensive Plan Committee, Transportation Advisory Task Force; and Town Business Advisory Council. During his free time he coached his sons in soccer and Little League in Sag Harbor.

I have always believed in public service and am grateful that the beginning of my career afforded me invaluable training in the workings of government on the community, city and state level. As a member of the Southampton Planning Board for the last five years, I have carefully weighed the delicate balance between development and environment, economy and community. When I sat as Chair of the Suffolk County Board of Ethics, I lead the way in ethics in government.

As a owner of a local real estate law firm, I am living the demands and challenges facing our business community. Working with clients from throughout Southampton Township, I have gained valuable insight into the commonalities and differences within our hamlets and villages.

him as a Town Justice.

I was born in West Islip, lived in Nesconset for a year, then moved to Smithtown where I have lived ever since. I was raised in an Irish Catholic household with two wonderful parents, one older brother, and one younger sister. My family came from humble backgrounds and my parents faced many hardships growing up on Long Island. Though unfortunate, I also consider myself blessed for this, as it has been instrumental in shaping my beliefs and core convictions as a man.

I attended school within the Hauppauge School District, starting at Forest Brook Elementary and ending at Hauppauge High School. I then went on to attend SUNY Purchase, but returned home to attend Suffolk County Community College. After a year at Suffolk I then transferred to the SUNY Fashion Institute of Technology, where I am pursuing my Bachelors Degree in "Advertising and Marketing Communications" with a minor in International Politics and Economics.

I am a lifelong resident of Long Island and a Democrat.

I have attended Long Island University C.W. Post Campus BS Business, Stony Brook University BS Biochemistry and Western Michigan University Thomas Cooley Law School JD Law Degree. I have worked for large banks and law firms and for many years worked as an attorney and sole practitioner in a general practice representing small businesses, homeowners and consumers.

As the son of a disabled World War II veteran, Joe Fritz came of age with a powerful example of duty and sacrifice that shaped his own sense of purpose.

As a college student and young adult, he sought out experiences that strengthened and focused his purpose and developed the skills that have made him an effective advocate for others.

After attending high school in Brentwood, Fritz obtained degrees from Suffolk Community College and Hofstra University, where he studied History. It was a tumultuous time in America. Fritz’ twin brother George joined the Peace Corps.

After ten years as a military family, my husband I moved to Patchogue Village 17 years ago in order to raise our two sons near our parents and close to the beaches and parks we grew up exploring. I am a credentialed Parent Peer Advocate and Parent Educator with ten year's experience in Suffolk County's children's mental health system. My life has been centered around helping families--first my own, as my oldest son has an autism diagnosis and my younger son lives with a primary autoimmune disorder--then other families within the mental health world. At the same time, I supported my parents as they aged in place and helped them navigate the hospice system. Now I hope to help families throughout Brookhaven so that our town is an even better place to live and raise a family.
