Dear friends,

While the election didn’t go my way, I’m delighted that Ilan “Lanny” Gilbert will be joining the Town Board to serve our community.

Throughout the campaign, we spoke truthfully about the issues and shared our positions with clarity and conviction. I’m deeply grateful to the residents who reached out to express appreciation for how we explained complex issues in ways that were accessible and understandable.

This campaign has been incredibly meaningful to me personally. I’m touched to have made so many new friends across the political spectrum as we worked together for Yorktown’s future.

I want to thank YOU for being a part of this work. I’ve been moved by the many people who have reached out to thank me for running and offer words of encouragement—your support means more than you know.

For now, my plans are to spend time with my family—my husband and children, who have been incredibly supportive throughout this entire journey.

I wish all of the Town Board members well as they take on the important work ahead. The challenges facing our town will require thoughtful leadership and community collaboration.

While I’m obviously disappointed in the results, I remain proud of the campaign we ran and the integrity with which my team and I conducted ourselves. Democracy depends on everyday people getting involved and making their voices heard. If this campaign has inspired others to step up and get involved in our community, then we’ve achieved something meaningful.

Thank you, Yorktown.
