Thank you for your support

It has been a couple of weeks since the election but I wanted to make sure I thanked all of those who supported my campaign.

Thank you to the members of my party and opposing party and Town Council members who took me under their wing and worked with me, to Michael Milone, our town manager, who allowed me to speak individually with many of our department heads, and to all of my friends and neighbors for everything they did  to help. It was heart warming to see the support I received.  I especially want to thank my wife, Jenifer, and children, Cara and Patrick. They allowed me to make this run and worked with me from the very beginning. I could not have done this without their support.

Unfortunately, I ended up a little short in votes. I realized that politics can sometimes be dirty and people and manipulate phrases to make them sound like something completely different.  I chose to take the high road and keep my integrity and only point out differences between my opponent and myself. Unfortunately, I had a difficult time overcoming some of the untruths that were aimed at me.  I have learned. I will come back better. I will also continue to keep my integrity and good reputation that I have worked so hard for in this town.

I wish Mr. Falk success on his term. I will warn him that perfect attendance doesn’t qualify someone to be a Town Council member. He must contribute and work to make this town grow and move further. If he doesn’t, I will be waiting. We all want this to be a better and affordable place to live.
