To the Editor:

I would like to thank the voters of Newtown for their support and confidence in returning me to the Board of Finance. Also, a special thanks to those who were kind enough to write letters, volunteer lawn space, and spread the word as to our message of unity. And, thank you to the fantastic support team of the DTC. Last, but not least, a big thank you to my wife, Stephanie, and family for their support, suggestions, and patience.

I would be remiss if I didn't thank all the Republican candidates for their class act campaigns, as well. I hope those Republican, Democrat, and Independent candidates not successful this time will stay involved in town activities. There are many appointed positions typically available throughout the year. We are all in this together.

Again, many thanks to so many people.

Sincerely,

Jim Gaston
