I hope Mike Pelczar applies for one of the appointive positions

To The Daily Sun,

I want to congratulate Ray Moritz and Bev Lapham in their win for the two open positions on the Board of Selectman in Meredith.

I want to personally thank all those who voted for me.

I really enjoyed the campaign, meeting the other candidates, and the three forums I attended. Even though six of us didn't win, it still was a victory for Meredith. Having eight people putting their names in the race, makes me proud that we still have people who care and are willing to give back to our town.

Before this election I never knew Mike Pelczar, but I was really impressed. A young man running a family business that has been in Meredith for generations. Even with his busy schedule, he is willing to give back to his hometown and has all the qualifications for the Board of Selectmen.

I hope he applies for the two appointed positions that will take place in the weeks ahead. I am willing to try help him if does. I also think most of the 320 people that voted for him would do so again.

Thanks to everyone for making the election interesting, fun, and making some new friends.

L. Michael Hatch
