When I decided to run for mayor of North Haven, I knew it was an uphill battle. I knew there was going to be a lot of money spent, and running against two retired people while I was still working was not in my favor.
But there was no reason to sit on the sidelines. I felt I was well-qualified to be mayor.
I had a good time meeting new residents and reacquainting with old friends. Thank you all for your support. It was a worthwhile campaign.
And a special thanks to the sign maker
