Though the results were not as we would have hoped, the Democrats fought a tough battle, based on issues and on their accomplishments. Kevin Zingler, Lisa O'Neill, Dave Sheridan and John Topping will continue to work hard over the next two years to Move Manchester Forward.
Congratulations to Lou Spadacinni, Matt Peak, Cheri Pelletier, Jeff Beckman and Mark Tweedie on a well run campaign.
Many thanks go out from the candidates to all their volunteers for their countless sacrifices and endless commitment to the values of the Democratic Party. An additional showing of gratitude must be extended to Chairman Ted Cummings for his unwavering leadership throughout. I have no doubt that in two years the Democrats will once again earn the support of Manchester's residents and be returned to the majority.
