I would like to thank all the voters of Arlington for re-electing me to the Arlington Board of Selectmen. I also want to extend a very special thank you to all those people who donated time and money to my campaign. I may be the one serving on the Board, but getting re-elected truly is a team effort, and I am blessed with the best team.

As I said throughout the campaign I am optimistic about our future. However, I am very aware of the many challenges we face together as a town. The key now, as it has always been, is to work to meet those challenges together.

For nine years as a member of the Board of Selectmen, I have worked to make town government responsive to the people of Arlington. I have worked to ensure that people feel comfortable not only reaching out to me, but that they are also comfortable whenever they come before the Board. As a member of the Board of Selectmen, I am here to serve you, and that is a tremendous honor.

Once again, thank you for your support and for your votes. I will continue do everything I can to ensure Arlington remains the wonderful place to live
