I want to thank all of the Amherst residents who came out to vote today. I truly appreciate your confidence in me by re-electing me to a seat on the Amherst Board of Selectmen.
I had the privilege of running with two very talented candidates who each showed their commitment to our town by running for office. I would like to congratulate Peter Lyon on his election to the Board. I am looking forward to working with Peter, Tom, Reed and Nate to meet the needs of our town.
I would also like to thank John D'Angelo for stepping up three years ago, for his three years of service and particularly for his work leading the Amherst Pipeline Task Force.
In my opinion, the voters had to choose between three well qualified candidates who each ran positive campaigns, and there were only two openings.
I would also like to thank all of my friends and supporters who helped make this campaign a success. Thank you for talking to your friends and neighbors, writing letters to the papers, posting signs on your lawns, and providing me with advice.
I look forward to the challenges that lie ahead and I will do my very best to represent the values and concerns of our town.
