Councilwoman Anna Throne-Holst's dog Frankie, her dachshund/poodle mix, will run for Southampton Town Supervisor in the upcoming election. “Frankie's a natural born leader,” Ms. Throne-Holst said. “Frankie's one smart pooch and I'm sure he'll lift a leg to help the people of Southampton. Humans let this area go to the dogs. Frankie may the savior we've been looking for."
Newly elected official Ms. Sally Pope said Frankie makes their Town Hall offices a happier place and she likes to eat her lunch while sitting next to Frankie's bowl. “This may sound funny, but Frankie is an incredible kisser,” she said. “He comes up and humps your leg numerous times a day and sometimes, he’s the only one to do that. It's actually quite refreshing compared to some of the meetings we have to sit through.” “Frankie's a fighter and I think he's got a good shot at being elected,” Mr. Nuzzi said when asked about the dog. “Right now we have formed an exploratory committee and we're soliciting private contributions for Frankie's future campaign.” Southampton Town Supervisor Linda Cabot had one comment: "Bring it on, Frankie!"
