I am always amazed by the sheer volume of people and things I am thankful for when I actually take the time to just sit and think for a moment. In our day to day lives we are bombarded with challenges, hurdles, and disappointments and it is these things which seem to monopolize our thoughts. It is very easy to be overwhelmed by this seemingly continuous string of setbacks and that’s why it is so important to stop, take a break, and focus on the positive. A holiday like Thanksgiving gives us that opportunity.

I don’t want to bore you with my entire thank you list, but I would like to focus on a certain segment. With the local Haverhill election a little over two weeks in the past, I‘ve finally had the time to decompress, gather my wits and get my life back to a somewhat normal equilibrium. I am incredibly gratified to have earned another two year term to serve as one of Haverhill’s City Councillors and I want to take an opportunity to thank those that helped me achieve this accomplishment.

My deepest thanks to:

Ken George, for his many hours of computer work and yellow sign fabrication!
Angela Sargent, for the thousands of flyers she delivered.
Doug Edison, for his advice, canvassing, and sign holding.
Tim Jordan, my campaign treasurer, for his insight, huge personal network and stalwart friendship.
James Corcoran, my campaign manager, for his graphic and media wizardy, impeccable organization and constant motivation.
My wife Melanie and our children for all their sacrifices including putting their lives on hold and allowing me to pursue my community service aspirations.

And finally to the citizens of Haverhill who had the faith in my abilities to help lead this great city for the next two years.

Thank you all once again for your support and I look forward to seeing you around town! Have a safe and happy Thanksgiving and don’t forget to take a few minutes out of your day to reflect on what this holiday truly means!

Warm Regards,

Haverhill City Councillor
