MY ACCEPTANCE SPEECH:
“As a town, we are fortunate to have had residents Ben Freeny and John Oughten step up to the plate, along with myself from the south end to offer strong, viable choices for this upcoming election. How lucky we are to have had that opportunity. I sincerely thank both of them for their efforts and look forward to working with them closely throughout this election and beyond. “Thank you to Unite Our Town and the supporters and board members for giving me this opportunity to work with you to bring a positive message to the dais and eliminate the negativity that has taken over our town. “I have the ability to work with our community, and I have no conflict of interest with the town that two of our current commissioners do. You deserve oversight and accountability from your elected officials. You need to knowthat our town is being run appropriately as a business, and not granting favoritism to certain members and organizations. You need to be able to trust your local government, and that trust has been lost over the last four years. You do not need bullies on the dais dictating their wants and needs. You need commissioners who will listen to the will of the people and work with the community, not against the community. I will do that. This is not about me. It is about you and your neighbors. “We have a lot of work to do. This is just the beginning. We must stay united and push forward for a fresh start and turn the page on the last four years. I have the passion and the determination to cross that finish line on March 9 as a winner. When that happens we all win. “I cannot do this alone. We are a team, we are one town, and you will play a critical role in our success in March. Talk to your neighbors and friends, when you are in the grocery store, eating in our restaurants or just walking throughout your neighborhoods or socializing at your condos. Talk of a fresh start, let them know we can claim victory in March.
