The Election is Over

The election is over. I’m sure the Post office is happy about that! Congratulations to Ms. Mason and the Republican Party for a clean and well run campaign. Congratulations to all the voters who exercised their right to vote and fulfilled their civic duties.

I wish to thank all of the 12,000 people who voted for me. My position was and still is fiscal responsibility in government. We may not have won the election but I firmly believe that the Board of County Commissioners is highly aware of the shot we fired across their bow. I have received a multitude of wonderful emails from friends and strangers alike all with a common theme. Your comments are heart warming and very appreciated. I will post a sample.

The last few days were spent taking down all the campaign signs. At least they came down easier than they went up! If you notice any of my campaign signs still out there please remove them or send an email so that I can remove them.

This was a historic election in every sense of the word. As a first generation American I am extremely proud to have been an active participant. Thank you again for your efforts and support.

God Bless America,

John E Mullarkey




Dear John,


Had planned to email you as soon as I got to work today---and then it was
one of those crazy days! **** and I were there tonight until 9pm.!!

Anyway--what I want to say is that you are both winners in my book. What
you did John was awesome and I hope you are proud. Most importantly, is that
you took the risk and were an inspiration to those of us who watched and were
able to see firsthand that indeed, when committed people get involved, ideas
are shared, people are excited and everyone walks away wiser and with new
insights, knowledge and a respect that there are people who act morally and
responsibly and with the best interests of others...not themselves or their
careers.

with much respect and pride in wonderful friends,

****
