STATEMENT FROM DENISE SHEEHAN REGARDING COLONIE TOWN SUPERVISOR RACE

Earlier today, I called Supervisor Mahan to congratulate her on winning a tightly contested and spirited race. With a vote margin this close, I felt it was important that the absentee ballot process was carried out to ensure every vote counted and I appreciate everyones patience during that process. I ran for Colonie Town Supervisor because I was concerned with the overall direction of the Town, and questioned some of the decisions that were being made. While I'm disappointed with the outcome, I'm proud of the campaign we ran, I'm proud of the amount of support we received, and I'm proud of the issues we brought to light. It was an honor and privilege for me to be a candidate for Supervisor and this campaign was a great experience for me. I'm grateful for the opportunity I had to connect with the community and meet thousands of residents who shared my concerns and supported my positions on the significant issues facing the Town. Im hopeful that this race has provided residents of the Town with a renewed sense of the importance of their voices and that they will actively participate in town government to ensure their concerns are being addressed. I want to thank my family, my campaign team, volunteers, friends and supporters for all of their hard work and support over the last six months. I look forward to remaining actively engaged in working with all of you to improve and strengthen our community. ###
