WE DID IT!

Thank you Bainbridge Twp.!

What an awesome experience and such a resounding result! I am proud of the campaign experience (though certainly glad it's over!) and humbled by the confidence and trust you've placed in me once again. I certainly will work to continue to earn your respect.

Here is a letter Lorrie and I sent to the various newspapers this past week...and thanks again!!!


An open letter to Bainbridge residents (and the Kenston community):

We want to take a moment to personally thank the voters in Bainbridge and our supporters in the Kenston community at large, for your support in the recent election. We heard loud and clear the message you sent -- you want positive and productive leadership in local government, and will each work hard for you and with you to reach that goal.

We intend to act immediately on our campaign statements, reaching out in our community to encourage public participation in the decision-making and planning processes. We expect to be creative and effective in our obligation to be fiscally responsible, as we look to expand services to our residents. We will protect and defend our semi-rural character as we are also cognizant of property rights and proper land use planning. Most importantly, we will respect a difference of opinion and work to restore public confidence and pride in Bainbridge Township.

Thank you again, and we look forward to serving you for the next four years.
