Hi...

As you may have heard by now, the voters of Portsmouth have chosen a new school committee, with Republicans Cynthia Perrotti, Jonathan Harris, and Thomas Vadney the leaders, followed by Democrat Dave Croston (Full results: http://www.ri.gov/election/results/2010/general_election/portsmouth/). I congratulate them, and wish them well as they guide our schools through the challenges of the next four years. The time for politics is over; now, the focus can return to our schools, our kids, and their success.

To all of you who helped me in this campaign: thank you. I am honored by your trust, and I shall continue to do what I can to pay that forward. Portsmouth is our home, the work goes on, and tomorrow, we move forward from here.

I am deeply grateful for the support of so many people. Thank you, all.

Best,
