Dear Arlington:
I write to give you my heartfelt thanks for considering my candidacy for School Committee. I was not successful but I feel encouraged that our schools will be well served with those who were elected on Saturday, April 5th.
My wife Laura and my family are the most important people in my life. I am grateful to them for their love and support. When I entered this race I dedicated myself to making a difference not only for my kids but for all of our children. I have learned so much during this relatively short campaign by talking to so many of you. I will continue to stay involved with public education issues and look forward to working with Stand For Children when I lead a team of concerned men and women to lobby our legislators on Beacon Hill on April 15th. I invite all of you to join with me in this important cause.
There could have been no better learning experience than running for School Committee. I was honored that so many of you thought so much to vote for me. I truly feel that it was better to have run and lost than to never have run at all.
I hope to serve this great Town in the future as I believe that I have a duty to give back to a place that has given me and my family so much.
Thank you and God Bless.
