I want to thank the many people who provided assistance in my recent campaign for Aquia supervisor in Stafford County. Their hard work and support was greatly appreciated.
I also want to thank all
While my campaign fell short of victory, our effort was not in vain.
The campaign raised important issues, set a new standard for "clean money" politics, and shined a light on aspects of Stafford's political life that some in power would rather have remain hidden.
All of those are useful in promoting a healthier democratic system.
Congratulations to Paul Milde and all the winners
With the luxury of a clear 5-2 majority, the new Board of Supervisors now has the responsibility to address the many pressing issues facing the county.
I wish the board success in their endeavors, and I hope they use their positions wisely in caring for the concerns of all residents.
Finally, I am greatly encouraged by all the many wonderful people I had a chance to meet during the campaign. They are the future of Stafford County.
As long as citizens work together, continue to be active, and speak up for what
