The League of Women Voters of the Hamptons, Shelter Island, and the North Fork will host an online debate Monday night at 7 for candidates who are seeking to fill the seat on the Southampton Town Board left open when Tommy John Schiavoni was elected to the New York State Assembly in November.
Rick Martel, a Republican and former town board member, is facing off against John Leonard, a Democratic member of the town’s zoning board of appeals.
“At the online debate, the candidates will make timed opening and closing statements and answer questions,” a release from the league said. Questions can be submitted through tomorrow by emailing Neil Cohen, the chairman of the league’s voter services committee, at [email protected].
The debate will air on Southampton Town’s SEA-TV YouTube channel and will be available for later viewing there.
The election will take place on March 18. Early voting will be available from March 8 to March 16 at the Stony Brook Southampton campus.
