I would just like to take a moment to express my gratitude to your paper for your fair coverage of the recent elections, and for your efforts to encourage voter participation. I would also like to express my thanks to you and your readership for your support of my own re-election efforts.

It has been an honor and a pleasure to serve the residents of the sixth senatorial district for the past nine years, and I am grateful for the opportunity to continue serving as your state senator. As the chairman of the New York State Health Committee, we have overseen many sweeping and fundamental changes in the health care field, and I am anxious to continue my efforts in the coming months and years.

Again, my thanks and congratulations to you for your outstanding efforts to bring local news coverage to your readers. Best wishes.

Kemp Hannon

Member of Senate
