Congratulations are in order for Mayor Pro-Tem Richard Bush, who won the field tonight 70-20.
I’m not going to lie and say the better, more accessible candidate won. I didn’t.
So the 2009 Leesburg City Council election is in the books. Game Over, I lose.
But I am announcing here and now that I WILL be back in 2011. I’ll announce which post I intend to challenge for sometime in the summer of 2011. Until then, I will continue working for the city I love so much I adopted it as my hometown. I will continue to push for more open government, better flowing traffic, more recreation opportunities, and more professionalism from our City Council. On that last note in particular, I must applaud the Council for actually having perfect attendance tonight. Kudos!
This site will continue to operate, though I do intend to give it a facelift this weekend – changing the main banner, maybe adding some links, that sort of thing. I will also continue to be available via Yahoo Instant Messenger at SextonForLeesburg, and GMail/GoogleTalk at sextonforleesburg@gmail.com. Please do not hesitate to contact me with anything I may be of assistance with, and I’ll work to get your problem solved.
Thank you to the 20 people who voted for me and all my friends and supporters who did not live in the City of Leesburg and therefore could not. I promise you I will come back in 2011 bigger, better and stronger.
That campaign begins NOW.
