Being elected Northampton's 44th Mayor on November 8, 2011 was an incredible honor and I'm extremely proud of the positive, issue-oriented campaign we ran. I'm also honored and humbled to have had the help of so many people across our community. That support allowed me to communicate my vision and record of experienced leadership, carrying every ward and precinct and winning 70% of the vote.

We live in a remarkable community, and I am excited about the opportunity to build on our success and make it even better. Please know that as Mayor I will work hard every day to unite our city and find solutions to the challenges that lie ahead.

Thank you again and now, let's move our great city forward!
