A Message from Jane

 First, thanks to the many voters in District 4 who had confidence in my ability to serve our community's interests on the Board of Supervisors and who honored me with their vote.

Thanks, too, to the hundreds of volunteers and donors who made this such an energizing, positive, successful campaign.

This is a real tribute to the power of a grassroots campaign. We planned our strategy, carried it out smoothly and efficiently, spent less money than the opposition, and were successful! I look forward to serving the county in a similar manner.

Again, my heartfelt thanks for all your support. While we wait for every vote to be counted, please take the advice I am giving myself: rest up, stay strong and then lets get back to the joyous work of caring for our community. I look forward to continuing our efforts together in a new way starting January 2009!
