To the Editor:

I would like to thank the people of DeKalb County for their warm reception of me and my family this summer and fall. Kind greetings and words of encouragement were offered from Sandwich to Fairdale, as we marched in 10 parades, attended festivals and visited businesses, churches and thousands of doorsteps. You kept us enthused through six exhausting months.

Thanks are also due to my loyal friends and supporters for their tireless efforts in this campaign. Without their regular and continuing contributions and advocacy we could not have done so much in so short a time. They truly exemplify “Doing the job right.”
