I am humbled to have been elected to be one of your Los Alamos County Councilors. I look forward to working with others elected Tuesday night: Sara Scott, David Izraelevitz and James Robinson and those still serving on Council to address our priorities. I heard the priorities of many citizens during the campaign. I want to continue hear from you in the next two months and while I serve on Council.

I thank all of the candidates for running. I have gotten to know all of the other candidates during the course of the campaign. They are all community-minded people who presented positive proposals to address problems or made recommendations for the betterment of Los Alamos.

I thank all my supporters. Those that voted for me, made contributions, hosted yard signs, or wrote endorsement letters. Special thanks go to my campaign committee: Jane Lin, August Swanson, Chris Ortega, Michele Altherr, and especially my wife Wendy Swanson. Wendy helped me canvass many neighborhoods and talk to voters and provided moral support during the long campaign season.
