To the Editor:

I would like to take a minute and congratulate all of the winning candidates from the election yesterday [November 7]. I am proud to be a Newtown resident and enjoyed my experience running for legislative council. I also wanted to compliment both parties on the way we ran our campaigns in such a civil way; it shows what kind of community we are. I hope everyone gets behind our newly elected officials and that we can use open lines of communication to move our town in a direction that makes everyone happy to live here.

Thank you,

Rance Thompson
