Southampton Village Election Will Be Uncontested
Epley, McGann and Hattrick run for re-election without opposition.
Three incumbent members of the Southampton Village Board turned in petitions Friday to seek new terms, and no one came forward to challenge them.
Mayor Mark Epley, who was first elected in 2005, will receive a fifth term. He was also unopposed in 2009 and 2011. Epley is a Navy veteran and the executive director of the Seafield Center in Westhampton Beach, a drug and alcohol abuse rehab clinic.
Trustee Bill Hattrick served as mayor from 1985 to 1989 and then as a trustee for four years after that. He returned to the board during the 2011 election. He was a member of the village's zoning board of appeals for 15 years prior to running for mayor, including 12 as chairman. He works for UBS Financial Services on Main Street.
Trustee Nancy McGann, who, like Epley, was first elected in 2005, is seeking a fifth term. She is the managing partner of the Town & Country Real Estate Southampton Village branch. Prior to joining Town & Country, McGann worked at Allen Schneider Associates and Corcoran
