I’m writing to express my appreciation to the residents of District 1 for the opportunity to get to know you throughout the recently concluded supervisorial campaign, and for the kindness and good wishes you extended to me during the past five months.

I’m especially grateful to the campaign committee and the dedicated volunteers and other supporters who helped us create such an exemplary, issue-oriented campaign. Your hard work and enthusiasm were a model for what local politics can and should be, and it has been a joy collaborating with you.

I’m now looking forward to your continuing friendship and partnership as we move forward together to build the bright future our children and grandchildren deserve.

I also want to extend my congratulations to Supervisor Jim Comstock on his victory, and my best wishes for his continuing service to the community. I look forward to working with him on projects that benefit District 1 and all of Lake County.
