I can not begin to tell you how great you guys are. NHGOP supported me from day one even knowing that we had a tough race ahead. At no point in the campaign did I question that you and the NHGOP team would give 150% for this race. The support from republicans here in Lebanon and across the State was incredible from donations to going door to door with lit drops right up to election day with people from Salem, Keene, Plymouth and the Leadership.

Win or lose our strategy worked....we took them by surprise in the last couple of days. We mobilized the Lebanon voters in a way that hasn't been done, I'm told, in years.

I am so proud of the race we ran and so proud of all the NH Republicans that came together in a long shot election and made it so close that the overconfident democratic machine had to scramble to catch up. I wish that I could have brought the seat back home to the GOP but we worked hard and we tossed some wrenches into their machine.

I'd also like to thank my family for putting up with a yard full of signs, a livingroom full of palmcards and handouts and a month of full throttle politics.

Thanks so much to everyone that helped...it was appreciated and it will be remembered.

Gratefully,
