About Us
Let's Take Back Our Town
The members and supporters of the Chatham Party are registered Republicans, Democrats, Independents and Chatham Party. Quite simply, we are East Hampton residents who want our voices to be heard, not ignored, not derided.
Some of our members are politically conservative, some liberal. Taken together, we find common ground in the middle. We are moderates. Between the left and right, we are the quiet majority. Quiet, but not silent – if you care to listen. Then again, left and right are terms used to label national politics, not local politics.
We are a group of citizens with opinions about how we should be taxed, about how our town should spend its money, about how we need a better vision for the town to move forward into the 21st century. We want to ensure that our school system is the best it can be while the needs of our seniors and those without children in our school system are also included in the budget equation. We are fiscally conservative, socially responsible.
While the rhetoric sometimes takes a nasty tone, we have worked hard to stick to the facts, be positive and always look out for the best interest of our town. We have made sure that issues are discussed and not simply rubber stamped.
