Good morning. I want to take this opportunity to express my heartfelt appreciation to everyone for your unwavering passion and commitment to our campaign over the past five months. Although the results weren't as we had envisioned, I am filled with an overwhelming sense of pride and accomplishment, inspired by the remarkable progress we've made. This campaign afforded us the chance to rekindle old friendships, forge new ones, and engage in meaningful discussions about the vital issues facing our town, ultimately strengthening our community. We also shared countless moments of joy and laughter, creating memories that will last a lifetime. I especially want to thank my amazing family for their unwavering support and patience with all of the campaign-related tasks. I'm sure they're elated that the campaign is over, but I know they're also proud of what we've achieved. I would also like to extend my warmest congratulations to Liz O'Donnell for running an extraordinary campaign. I have no doubt that her love for our town will continue to inspire her as our new Moderator. I am truly blessed to be surrounded by so many incredible friends. The spring has finally arrived and I’m looking forward to spending quality time with my wonderful family! Thank you again!
