Assemblyman Fred W. Thiele Jr. has endorsed Southampton Town Supervisor Anna Throne-Holst in her bid for Congress. Mr. Thiele, whose district includes the Towns of East Hampton, Southampton, and Brookhaven, is a former Southampton Town Supervisor and Suffolk County legislator.

His endorsement came one day after Emily’s List announced its support for Ms. Throne-Holst, who is running for the Democratic nomination to take on Lee Zeldin, a Republican who is serving his first term in Congress.

“Now more than ever,” Mr. Thiele said in a statement, “Suffolk County needs a representative who will look out for the needs of hard-working families. In Southampton, Anna has shown a proven commitment to the values that we share both as Democrats and as Long Islanders — better managing the town budget to invest in job creation, education, and senior services. I know Anna will work hard in Congress to make sure every Long Island family has a fair shot at the American dream.”
