Thank You, Point Pleasant Beach
I want to take a moment to sincerely thank everyone who voted for me this year. It was a privilege to meet so many residents. Your conversations, questions, and encouragement meant a great deal to me.
I’d especially like to thank Mayor Swanson for taking the time to speak with me and offering valuable insight into canvassing and the inner workings of our community. His perspective was incredibly helpful and appreciated.
Over the past few years, I’ve been told more than once that if I simply changed the “D” after my name to an “R,” I’d be elected. While I understand the political realities behind that advice, I chose not to follow it. Doing so would have felt disingenuous to the people I was running to represent and contrary to my values. Others may have made that choice, but for me, integrity is worth more than a council seat.
I’m proud of the campaign we ran and deeply grateful to my team. First and foremost, I want to thank my wife, Georgia, her support made everything possible. I also want to thank Maggie Doucette, Cathy Sogorka, Tom Brennan, Anita Grammatico, Ellen Shannon and Anne Lightburn for their unwavering support and belief in our mission.
As of this writing, I’ve received 1,011 votes, that number means more than a tally. It represents nearly a thousand neighbors who believe in balance, transparency, and progress. I’m tremendously proud of that result and grateful for every single vote.
All of our volunteer committees do outstanding work, and I encourage every member of the community to get involved, whether by joining a committee or simply participating in its efforts. I also urge residents to be more mindful with council meetings and pay attention to how our governing body is functioning. As we navigate the ever-changing landscape of rising costs and shifting priorities, we cannot stagnate. We must evolve as a town and take an active role in shaping the narrative of who we are and what we want to become. I wish John and Kitty all the best in their term ahead.
Thank you again for your support, your time, and your trust.
