Special thanks and appreciation go out to all the candidates and the work of the entire HDTC and in particular the Nominating Committee, the Fundraising Committee, the Campaign Committee, the Outreach Committee and everyone that supported them. To everyone that opened up their homes, drove us around, stood together at events, these actions send a powerfully strong message to where the HDTC is going to be in the next few elections.

A congratulations should also go out to our Republican counterparts, it was a fun and hard fought battle (the billboards were a nice touch), congratulations and good luck, we’ll see you again in two years, now lets go out there and work together to make this great town even better.
