I am writing to say a hearty “thank you” to everyone who supported me throughout the primary election season. 

I set out to give the voters of Wells County a choice and did just that. When we don’t have choices, we are robbed of one of the aspects that separates our constitutional republic from other forms of government.  We had many choices in this election, from strong candidates in our Governor and Congressional District races to choices in some county-level races. While none of us enjoyed all of the mail and the unsolicited text messages that come along with political campaigns, I think we need to appreciate that we have the right and freedom to choose our elected officials.

No one puts themselves out there for an election without an intention and desire to win. So, obviously, I am disappointed. It has been, quite frankly, a stressful season. However, I wouldn’t go back to February and change my decision to run for anything! I am so blessed for the interactions and conversations during this time. The opportunity to connect with people whom I haven’t seen for quite some time and to meet new people was worth all of the stress, the work and the sleepless nights.

As I have for the past 20 plus years, I will continue to serve and support our community proudly. Thanks again, Wells County for your support!
