To everyone who supported me from July 17, 2009 through June 8, 2010 thank you very much for the encouragement over all the obstacles I had to get over.  I have no regrets in my participation as an Officially Declared Democratic WRITE-IN candidate for Governor.

It has been as if I just completed a triathlon:

1.   Swimming against the current trying to be acknowledged as an official candidate for governor.

2.   Biking up hill trying to make contacts with citizens throughout the State of Maine, successfully getting to 13 out of 16 counties.

3.   Running to the finish line, while still working 40 hours per week.

I failed to earn the right to be on the ballot with no one to blame but myself.  But I did earn the right to be a candidate by State Law.  I enjoyed the run and learned many lessons about the political process.  I have much to offer the State of Maine and will look to the horizon to how I may utilize my 40 years of diverse comprehensive financial professional experiences to the State of Maine’s advantage.

I am a proud Mainer with high values and ethics and will continue in the path of service to my fellow Mainers.  Thank you for being there for me and letting me into your lives.
