The evening before Election Day, I told my wife, Marian, that no matter what the outcome I had won. This feeling came from the support I have received from so many people in the four towns of Addison-4.
When you run for office, especially in a hotly contested race, you have to put yourself out there, and at times, you are a bit vulnerable. Having people write letters of support, donate their hard-earned cash and assist in your door-to-door efforts is huge and humbling.
So to those folks that helped me out, your effort is deeply appreciated. And for those of you that voted for me, thank you. For everyone in the district, I promise to do my best representing you in Montpelier.
