After a long day at the polls,  we did it.  I want to thank all of my supporters for their efforts.  This has been a long process which culminated in a very long day working the polls.  I got to talk to the voters and got to share this experience with the other candidates who worked today.  At the end of the day, I feel it was safe to say that we all agreed on one thing, we are glad that its over.

The greatest part of today, was the affirmation from the voters that I have represented them well and fairly.  I have done this in every decision I have made and will continue represent all Bristol Tennessee City Schools to the best of my ability.  As I have from day one, I will always endeavor to improve communication with the parents, the community, and the City Council.

Congratulations to Gwen Ellis, Kelly Buskell, and Nelson Pyle.  I look forward to serving with you all as we seek to improve the lives of our children.

I want to thank all of the voters, even those who did not vote for me, for getting out to vote.  That is what today was all about.  For those who voted for me, thanks again.  I am humbled by your support.

A special thanks to my Wife and my friends for working the polls all day for me.  Your hard work paid off.  Most of all thanks to my daughter Morgan for being my biggest campaign supporter.

With humbled appreciation,

Tony
