Election Committee Chair McClary thanked the many volunteers who worked hard to make absentee and election day voting possible for the residents of Districts 3, 6 & 8. Included are:

Director Greg Denby and the staff of the Whetstone Library for their very capable administration of the absentee balloting procedures.

Election day poll workers John Deeth, Ben Johnson, Andrea Kusta, Micaela Stratton, Sarah Reinhart, Warren Clark and Cathy McClary for the very able assistance they gave to the residents who voted today.

Rex Schlagenhauf who used his considerable carpentry skills to produce new (and larger) ballot boxes. We certainly needed those new and improved ballot boxes today!

Thanks also to the Clinton Heights Lutheran Church and Whetstone Recreation Center for accommodating our election day needs for space and facilities.

Special thanks, of course, to members of the Election Committee who committed countless hours and some expense to bring the election to the people of Districts 3, 6 & 8. They include Diane Birckbichler, Justin Goodwin, Greg Denby and Jeff Racz.
