Thank you for your support!Dear Voter, I want to thank you for participating in the historic election here in the 3rd District. For the first time since 1882, voters elected a Democratic congressman to represent them in Washington - and I will work as hard as I can over the next two years to earn the confidence that you have shown in me. I ran for Congress because I believed our country needed a new, bi-partisan approach to solve the serious problems we face both here at home and overseas. The thousands of voters I met during this campaign - from the Shore towns in Ocean County and through Burlington and Camden Counties - told me they wanted real change. They said the old way of doing business in Washington was broken and that they needed a representative who will look out for their families' interests -- not the special interests. I am eager to hit the ground running in Congress and begin working to bring about about the change that the voters of this district and I believe we need. I have very specific ideas to help ease the financial burden on our middle-class, and I am determined to start putting a commonsense agenda in motion from Day One. I am deeply appreciative of those who supported me in this campaign, and I thank everyone for taking part in our nation's democratic process. I learned a great deal listening to you over the course of this campaign, and I have built relationships with members of both parties. As your congressman, I will work in a bi-partisan manner to represent your interests in Washington. I look forward to hearing your thoughts and concerns over the coming months on how we can work to improve the quality of life for 3rd District voters. I will see to it that they get a hearing in the United States Congress. |
