A letter to the editor from state Rep. candidate and Stoneham selectwoman Caroline Colarusso.

Written by Caroline Colarusso

I would like to sincerely thank you for the opportunity to run to be your representative at the State House. It was truly an honor to be the Republican nominee.

Throughout this election season I was able to talk with many of you at your doors and listen to the concerns of so many people. Your concerns did not fall on deaf ears. I heard you.

Although I had hoped for a different outcome, I believe that many of the relationships crafted during this race have enhanced my life. I appreciate your support. As a Republican, it is always difficult to win in Massachusetts. However, I never expected the Massachusetts Realtors Association to spend in excess of $66000 to re-elect the incumbent. While some of my supporters urged me to take special interest money to win, I am proud that I did not.

I will continue to put people ahead of politics on the Board of Selectmen and work to make a positive difference.
