As you have probably heard by now, I received 442 votes and Tommy Jacobs received 312 in the election on Tuesday.  This was an overwhelming turnout for an election involving only one seat.  The 757 citizens who voted almost matches the number that voted two years ago when five people were running for two seats. 

I am grateful for the support of so many of my neighbors.  Mr. Jacobs ran a strong campaign, and I appreciate the good wishes and support that he offered after the results were announced. 

I’m looking forward to serving Oak Hill on the Board of Commissioners and working to realize the hopes and dreams that so many of you shared with me.  I will be sworn in at the Board of Commissioners meeting on Thursday, June 19.
