Two Justices On the Ballot

Come Election Day, Southampton Town residents will also be voting for Southampton Town justice. The choice is between Andrea Schiavoni, one of four sitting town justices, and Ernest R. Wruck, an attorney who lives in Eastport. Each justice is elected to a four-year term and serves on a rotating monthly basis to hear criminal court cases, building and zoning violations, and the like.

Ms. Schiavoni, a North Haven resident, is seeking a second term on the bench. She is running on the Democratic Party line and will also appear on the Conservative and Working Families Parties lines. She maintains a private mediation practice, Harum and Harum, and teaches continuing legal education. 

Mr. Wruck, who is running on the Republican ticket, is a partner at Wruck & Wallace, a Patchogue firm. He has 30 years’ experience in estate administration, planning, and litigation and has served as an attorney for the Suffolk County public administrator, handling estates with unknown or missing heirs. He is a former Southampton G.O.P. committee chairman.
