Diane Hanley: I congratulate those who'll represent Gilford & Meredith

To The Daily Sun,

To the voters of Gilford and Meredith:

I would like to sincerely thank you for giving me the opportunity to run for state representative to represent you in Concord. Although I did not win, I am quite humbled by and appreciative of the support I received from so many of you. They say many hands make light work, and it was certainly true with campaigning this year.

As always, I will continue to advocate for what I believe are fair measures for working families, supporting Gunstock Ski Area, and protecting Lake Winnipesaukee for all of us.

I offer my congratulations to those that won election. In addition, I am so thankful for the rapid and efficient delivery of our state and local election results! Our town elections officials did a terrific job preparing for this year’s challenging circumstances. Enlisting the help of the Boy Scouts was a great help and great idea. Perhaps we can corral more youth involvement in upcoming elections as another opportunity to foster civics and personal responsibility.

In closing, I offer sincere thanks and good health to you all.

Diane Hanley
