Thank You Citizens of Seekonk

I sincerely thank everyone who supported me in my campaign and my efforts to seek another term on the Board of Selectmen.  I also thank everyone who voted for me yesterday in the town election.  I am honored and humbled by the response and support that I received from the voters and the citizens of our great town.

I understand that the hard part will now begin for me and the other Board members.  We must try to unite, putting aside any past differences and disagreements and instead move forward for the good of the town, the citizens, and the employees.  In my campaign I spoke only about the future, because that is what I truly care about.  What people have said or done in the past is irrelevant to me.  My focus and energy will be on trying to solve the problems and concerns we have as a community and doing so in a collaborative and meaningful way.

Board members will not always agree on each and every issue, but I will strive to ensure that each and every member will fully participate in the ultimate decision. I will also strive to ensure that the Board gives citizens, employees, and the other elected and appointed boards and committees a full and fair opportunity to speak on issues that concern them.  We are one town and one community, and we must respect each other regardless of affiliation.

Finally, I wish Dave Parker a speedy recovery and wish to let him know that he and his family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Sincerely,
Mike Brady
