I want to thank all of the people who gave me encouragement and support during my campaign for San Juan County Council District 1. I consider myself fortunate to have had an opportunity to meet with and talk with so many fellow citizens of San Juan County over the course of the campaign. Although Bob Jarman and I may have had varying views, I want to thank him for his participation in the debate of the issues. Now is the time for all of us to come together and work jointly on our shared future.

I would like to thank Bob for his years of service and I wish him the very best moving forward. I look forward to working with my fellow council members, the other county electeds, the county staff, and the citizens of San Juan County over the next four years. It is my privilege to serve my community in this way and I commit to giving it my very best.
