To my supporters, friends, family, and this community I love — thank you. ❤️
This campaign was one of the hardest and most meaningful things I have ever done. Putting yourself out there publicly is not easy, and I’m incredibly grateful for every conversation, message, prayer, share, donation, hug, wave, and word of encouragement along the way.
While tonight’s results were not what we hoped for, I am proud of the campaign we ran. I set out to focus on issues, leadership, accountability, and ideas for the future of Boundary County — not personal attacks — and I truly hope that came across.
Congratulations to Pam Barton on her victory. Running for public office takes courage, and anyone willing to step forward and serve their community deserves respect for doing so.
I’m also proud of all three candidates for being willing to put themselves out there publicly. That takes more bravery than most people will ever know.
Most of all, thank you, Boundary County. This community matters deeply to me, and no election result changes that.
With gratitude,
Stacie Watts ❤️
