A word of thanks

Let me first say thank you.

Thank you to the nearly 9,000 people who came out and voted in the Republican primary.  I am humbled to have received the support of 60% of those people - and I am appreciative of the support I hope to receive from the 40% who voted for my opponent, Priscilla Young.  Priscilla worked hard in her campaign.  She was a tough opponent. I thank Priscilla for joining me Wednesday morning to unite us in an effort to keep the Barnstable Probate and Family Court Office in the hands of a professional. This gesture demonstrates tremendous courage on her part.

Thank you to the many people who have helped me over the past several months.  Again, it is an unbelievably humbling experience to see my friends and family rally around me and work so hard to win this primary.  We know it will take even more to win in November and I am so grateful to have such wonderful supporters who are already preparing for the next phase of this campaign.

Thank you to the individuals who had the courage of their convictions to stand with me in the primary - Michael O'Keefe, Mary LeClair, Scott Nickerson, Jack Meade, Tom George and Shirley Gomes.  Each of these people put their reputations on the line to support me and I am eternally grateful for their confidence.

Now I say welcome to the sprint!  My friends, we have a 48 day sprint to the November election.  I have already begun the next phase of my campaign. This next phase is against a well-funded candidate.  With hard work, continued fund raising and our winning message, I am confident that we can win.

It was so rewarding to hear repeatedly from people across Cape Cod who believe in my message.  They are supporting me because they understand that I am a professional, not a politician.  They are telling their friends about me because I have the right blend of experience - and that is most important to them.  I will continue to talk to people across this county and tell them that if they want a Register who will work smarter and ensure a more user-friendly court, but is also a fiscal conservative - they only have one choice this November.

Thanks again and by the way, if you want to help now that the primary is over, please volunteer through my website.  www.electanastasia.com.

I'll check in again soon.
