Sworn in on Monday April 4th along side other elected members of our community.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I am incredibly grateful and honored to have the support of our community. To the residents of
Tewksbury, thank you for taking the time to vote, whether through absentee, early, or in person
ballot. It's such an important part of our role as citizens to speak up and take part in
determining who will represent our community.
My to my fellow candidates, thank you for stepping up to do something very few people do. For being the voice of our community and making it known that you care. I think we have all learned from this experience and can take that knowledge and grow.
Shannon and John, thank you for your time on the School Committee and the efforts you put in,
especially during the last couple of years with so much going on.
Tonight, we will celebrate. Tomorrow, we will rest. Monday, we begin a new chapter.
