BY DAVID HAMPTON
Candidate for Los Alamos County Council

First, I want to thank the individual voters of Los Alamos County for their support for me in this year’s primary for County Council. During the campaign, I had the privilege of visiting almost 2,500 households and discussing with many their concerns about the County. I got to meet so many new people and look forward to meeting more in the next few months leading up to the General Election on Nov. 3.

Second, a big thank you to all of our poll workers and the staff of the County Clerk’s office. As usual, they did an outstanding job running our election locally. They are a shining example of what free and fair elections should look like and a model for our democratic process.

Third, much love to all those who helped out with my campaign, those who I consulted with, those who donated to my campaign, those who put up my signs, and especially to my wife Lisa who persevered through all that is required of a campaign and a candidate’s spouse, helping me in so many different ways.

And finally, I want to thank all my fellow candidates who were willing to put their names out there to serve our community, and congratulate those who advanced to the General Election.
