I would like to express my sincere thanks to all the residents of Mineola regardless of whom they voted for in this past election. It has been a pleasure meeting and talking with so many of you during the past two months of our campaign leading up to Election Day. At every door we stopped, everyone graciously listened to The New Line Party's vision and ideas for the future of our village. That alone made all the hard work worthwhile.

I would also like to give a big thanks to all the volunteers who spent countless hours helping The New Line Party's campaign. Thank you Mineola Civic Association for organizing the two Meet the Candidates Nights. Thank you also Joe Rizza for moderating these events as well as to the Mineola American for their outstanding coverage throughout the entire campaign. I'm happy to call this village my home and look forward to the future of Mineola.

Stephen C. Franzini
