Thank you to the residents of Herndon for voting, and not just for me (but thanks if you did). During this process of running for Town Council, I have ratified everything I believe about the Town of Herndon.
It is a great place to raise your family, with an incredible sense of community. I would like to note that during this process, from collecting petition signatures to election day at the Herndon Community Center, every potential voter, to include all of the candidates, were polite, respectful, well informed and engaging. And this was a lot of fun.
Those readers who enjoy public policy and have the time, please consider jumping into local office. I can't think of a better way to be a role model.
