Congratulations, and Thank You!

First, congratulations to the 23rd LD dems who won their hard-fought races, Sherry Appleton and Christine Rolfes for the State House; and to all of the county, state and national democratic candidates who made Election Day 2006 a day to remember!

Second, thank you to all of the many volunteers who helped make those races into democratic victories. From party volunteers and leadership who worked tirelessly on campaigns, to nonpartisan volunteers who helped ensure a fair and free election, our thanks go out to you. Be proud of what we've achieved, and look forward to what comes next.
