Good Day Groton,
The voters of Groton have spoken, and I am full of gratitude for their continued support.
I would like to express my sincere appreciation to Groton voters and their confidence in my ability to represent them. On their behalf, I will do my very best to represent them and their interests while serving on the Town Council. In the months leading up to the election, I spoke with many Groton neighbors from all parts of our great community and listened closely to their sincere concerns. I pledge to work, as part of the team, towards addressing these issues and working towards Grotonβs growth and prosperity.
To the volunteers who came forward to assist with our campaign, I say a big thank you! We could not have succeeded without you! Many of you donated your precious time and funds to our campaign and I earnestly thank each and every one of you.
To my fellow elected Groton Town Council candidates, congratulations! I look forward to working alongside you as we focus on issues of importance for our community.
To the other candidates who ran for Town Council in Groton, thank you for participating in the democratic process.
