I’m Brian O. Mealy and I’m proud to have been serving as your councilman for the past four years, representing all the people of Southold Town. I’m a lifelong resident of Mattituck and graduate of Mattituck High School. My parents, the late Dorothy and Otha Mealy, were also lifelong North Fork residents. They instilled in me a heart for public service. I am head of circulation at Floyd Memorial Library in Greenport, where I have worked for over 16 years, and I serve on the Member Services team at Peconic Landing. I am a former member of Sheriff Errol Toulon’s Citizen Advisory Board. I am experienced in governance and fiscal management. Prior to serving on the Southold Town Board, I was on the Mattituck-Cutchogue school board (2016-2020). I am currently serving my third term on the ESBOCES Board, which oversees a $600 million budget.
I am running for re-election to Town Council because I believe my public service experience, leadership and commitment to bipartisanship will continue to help move Southold forward toward a more effective government that is responsive to the needs of all Southolders.
I work diligently on town committees to advance community goals. As liaison to the Youth Bureau, I look forward to working with the new director to help bring opportunities to our young people. As liaison to the dedicated volunteers of the Conservation Advisory Council, I work with Trustee Liz Gillooly to effect positive change for the environment. I look forward to bipartisan work, to improving communication between the town and citizens, on a new communication committee. Working together with Supervisor Al Krupski and fellow council members Anne Smith and Greg Doroski, I have built trusting relationships with leaders and members of our community. Our leadership has made great progress on the town zoning update, housing plan and water conservation legislation.
If re-elected, I will continue to bring transparency and accountability, support for local businesses, outreach to the retired community and protection of our estuary. It would be my honor to serve our community in this capacity again! I am counting on your support during early voting from Oct. 25 to Nov. 2 or on Election Day, Nov. 4. Support the Democratic Town Board candidates Alexa Suess and Kate Stevens, and the entire slate on Line A. Let’s Move Southold Forward with experience that works!
Mealy is running for re-election to the Southold Town Board on the Democratic and Working Families lines.
