Ahead of early voting for the Democratic primary election in the First Congressional District, a debate between John Avlon and Nancy Goroff covered many topics in only an hour, ranging from climate change, to social media, to gun violence and antisemitism. It was a polite affair in which the candidates often agreed with each other and didn’t engage in crosstalk.

On Friday, Justice Jerry Garguilo of the Supreme Court of Suffolk County ruled that the East Hampton Village Ambulance Association, a nonprofit that had served the village since 1975, could no longer exist, and ordered it dissolved. 

“I need more activism,” said Sagaponack Mayor William Tillotson when asked why he decided to campaign alongside two new candidates for village board on the Piping Plover Party line. Four candidates are vying for two trustee seats, each with a two-year term, and the mayor is hoping for a shakeup in the election, which will be held on Friday, June 21, from noon to 9 p.m.
