Great event.. Thank you to everyone who attended and participated.

I'm impressed with many of the candidates and I wish them well. It's good to know so many people are willing to serve in leadership.

I'm also very glad to be part of something that took place in in the open, with community involvement and with the participation of anyone who is willing to take the time to join in the discussion.

This is a far cry from the last time of strong arm tactics and "smokey back room politics". I believe we will all be the better party for it.
