To the Editor:

Thank you to the all of the Newtown residents who came out yesterday and voted.  It was great to see and talk with many of you at the Reed School.  Thank you especially to those who reelected me to the Legislative Council on behalf of District 2! The support and encouragement I received during my campaign was beyond anything I could have anticipated and is much appreciated.

I look forward to putting this election in the rearview us and moving forward as a community.  There are some difficult discussions on the horizon and many hours of work ahead.  I will continue to champion an open and unbiased dialogue considering all options in a transparent way in any and all decision making, to respect the needs and challenges of all our residents and to strive to continuously seek the best use of our resources.

Thank you again,

Ryan Knapp
