It has been some time since I sent out a newsletter so there are several issues to discuss.
Before I get to the issues, I want to thank the people of the Fifth Ward for returning me to office with 62% of the vote.This election was particularly difficult since I was in the hospital twice and could not campaign for much of the time. I was absolutely overwhelmed by the people who stepped forward to help me.If it had not been for them I would not have been able to get most of my campaign materials out to you.I cannot even begin to thank all of those people, but I hope a simple thank you will suffice for now.My wife and son worked tirelessly to help me get my letters out to you.I also want to thank the many voters who supported me—without them I could not have the opportunity to serve you for another term.
