Thank You, Cohasset.

Running this write-in campaign was more challenging and more fulfilling than I could ever have realized. I shared with hundreds and hundreds of Cohasset residents the funding challenges I see ahead and the impacts to our School District if we do not address this now.

There were tough moments: telling Seniors that I wanted to raise taxes wasn't easy, neither was saying that to the Republican Town Committee! But, I stayed honest, I tried to be direct…and people surprise you!

At the Senior Center one audience member said that Seniors had paid for her schooling so she's proud to be able to pay for the next generation. At the Cohasset Republicans many walked up to me afterwards and thanked me for my honesty, and, while they didn't like paying more in taxes they at least understood why it was necessary.

I'm ready for the challenge ahead and I hope my messaging has moved us forward on communicating the need for raising revenues to support our school district. As I said at the start — I'm in this for the long haul, and I will continue to serve the town and the district from the School Committee until we get this done.
