Letter
My campaign for State Representative of District 5 has been such a
valuable experience. I have been most grateful for the opportunity
to see my neighbors in Gilmanton and meet new folks in Alton.
I have spent many hours at the Transfer Station of both towns trying
to meet as many people as I can. I believe it is important to reach
out to the members of the community you want to represent; to hear
their concerns. I have appreciated the inquiries about my positions
and good wishes.
I knew this race would be a challenge. So few people knew me in
Alton and I knew so little about the town… Other than my favorite
McDonald’s at the Alton circle! I have enjoyed my time at the
Transfer Station and have made new friends. I want to thank the
gentlemen, Joe and Brian, who work at the Recycling Center for their
kindness and who always made me feel welcome. I want to thank the
voters of Alton who decided to take a chance with me despite the
newness of our relationship.
To my hometown, thank you for your support and a very rewarding
personal win. I am honored that you wanted me to represent you in
Concord. I would have been proud to do so.
Congratulations to Dick Burchell and Stephen Holmes. It is an honor
to serve. I do believe in the notion that people of different
political parties can work together for a common purpose. I hope you
will join your colleagues and do the work for all your constituents…
That you will support inclusive legislation that promotes the well
being of all residents of New Hampshire.
Please let us know the work you are doing on our behalf.
