Best Wishes for a Good New Year!Thank You For Your Support!
A sincere thank you to all who worked in Chatham County to promote the strong slate of Democratic candidates. Turning out the vote was key, and from knocking doors, telephone calling, stuffing and mailing thousands of letters and newspapers, to raising the needed money to get the message out, working the polls to greet the voters, you all did it. Your hard work paid off, and I am extremely grateful.
The Future
I will continue my commitment to open, citizen-based decision-making, protecting our environment, growing our towns so that good-paying jobs are created for our citizens, and working with our Board of Education and our community college to ensure that education remains our top priority.

Your continued support is valued and appreciated, and is important to assure that I am able to continue serving our community to work on plans that are vital to the growth and success of the county's economy and social support systems.
