Thanks.

Thank you to everyone who offered their support during my Town Council campaign. Your support was invaluable and although I was not successful in my Town Council bid we were successful in laying the groundwork for a better East Hartford.

Thank you Joe and Carolyn Kronen, as the campaign chairman and treasurer respectively, you have been an indomitable force of knowledge and motivation. Your unwavering support and dedication will not be forgotten. Your talents are indisputable.

Eileen Powers, you are easily one of the most driven and charismatic persons I have had the pleasures of working with. Through pure force of personality you seem to conquer obstacles with ease that others couldn’t even approach. I look forward to your continued efforts to make this town the shining emblem of reform it is destined to be.

Susan Kniep, it was my pleasure running with you. Even though our political affiliation is just a few months old we have had a natural alliance over these past years. As our government has failed us in its duty of fiscal conservatism and allowed rampant nepotism and political influence peddling to take root in East Hartford you have consistently defended the taxpayer while others have been conspicuously absent. I will see you in the Town Council chambers.

Pete and Lois Gero, your behind the scenes work and support could not be replaced by a dozen volunteers. Pete’s daily calls of support and speculation upheld my spirits in the most fatiguing moments of the campaign and Lois’ generous offering of her time and good spirits on the phones and the internet truly made the difference.

To our supporters, volunteers and donors we are greatly indebted to you. Your kindness, support and generosity is the fuel which drives us on in our endeavors. We couldn’t do it without you.

Congratulations to those candidates who won election and re-election. I have a new and deeper respect for the process of seeking political office. It is no light task and certainly no light responsibility. I hope that this election will inject new energy into the governmental bodies of East Hartford and inspire a more critical process of thought and action.
