A huge thank you to the voters of Golden for coming out in record numbers in the 2011 election. I appreciate all those who voted--for either me or for Wayne Weber, my worthy opponent.
And being elected with almost 70% of the vote is an encouragement to build on Golden's successes. We've got a solid start -- past councils and our present council have shown consistent dedication to maintaining and improving Golden's small-town lifestyle. We can all be grateful for the talents and hard work of these folks. In particular, I'd like to give a shout out to Mayor Jacob Smith and Councilor Karen Oxman for their terrific service to Golden. Further, returning councilors Joe Behm, Bill Fisher, Marcia Claxton, and Bob Vermeulen will continue to keep Golden's vision in the forefront as they work through the important issues facing our town. Newly elected Saoirse Charis-Graves and Marcie Miller will add their valuable perspectives to the council. Golden's volunteer workforce--members of the city's boards and commissions--will also provide guidance. Finally, our great City staff will supply their expertise and skills in implementing council's policy decisions.
The voices of community members are the backdrop for all decisions in Golden. Between now and January 12, when the new council will be sworn in, I'd like to meet with and hear from as many residents as I can. So if invited to a neighborhood gathering, parent-teacher meeting, HOA meeting, service club meeting, or non-profit board meeting -- my answer is yes let's schedule a time to get together. I'd like to hear from you.
I'm extremely grateful to the voters and excited to get started on our adventure together. Thank you again for the opportunity to serve as mayor of our great community.
Marjorie
