Good Morning All - I want to thank all who came out and voted on Tuesday. As I always say "It doesn't matter who you vote for as long as you vote".

I want to give some special shout outs to some people who worked for me on the day of the election.

First of all to my poll workers. These amazing people work for me each election and are so dedicated to the process. I thank you for giving up a full day to help in the civic duty process.

Secondly I want to thank the following Town Clerks who assisted in this election:

Cheryl Sass, Town Clerk from Randolph, Nancy Danello, Acting Town Clerk from Franklin, Marilee Kenney Hunt, Town Clerk from Bridgewater, Mark Hogan, Town Clerk, Town of Sharon, Jayne Davolio, Town Clerk from Milbury and Dawne Warren, Assistant Town Clerk from Andover. I cannot thank you enough for helping out on Tuesday.

Third, a major shout out to Officer Bill Farwell. Officer Farwell stayed and monitored the tallying process until complete. We appreciate Officer Farwell going above and beyond for us here in the Clerks Office.

Another big shout out to all of the Policemen/women who worked the polls on Tuesday. Having SPD at the polling locations allow voters to feel safe casting their votes.

I also want to thank Carmel Msw my "Public Election Guru". Her kindness to get people to run for open seats is amazing. The information that she puts out for members of the public to sign up not only make it easier for interested parties to sign up but by her doing this, it helps us in the Clerks Office add the interested parties to our tally sheets making for a much smoother process. We appreciate it!!

DPW - thank you for putting up the Vote Signs and letting us use the reader board. - You're the best!

Last but certainly not least, my Senior Clerk (my right arm) Kellie Johnson. Kellie has been training to run elections and this was hers to do. She did an amazing job. She was calm, cool, professional and most of all she did an amazing job!! Her attention to detail was incredible. Thank you Kellie for all that you did for this election and all you do for the office. I appreciate it very much.

The results for the election have been posted on the Town Clerks webpage and here's the link for easy access:
