Thank You, Vermillion
Serving as your Mayor for the past four years has been the honor of a lifetime. I am deeply grateful to everyone who believed in our vision, volunteered their time, donated to our campaign, and cast their vote.
While this chapter closes, my commitment to Vermillion never will. Together, we accomplished incredible things — and I will always cherish the trust you placed in me to lead this community.
To my family, friends, supporters, and every resident who made these four years unforgettable: thank you from the bottom of my heart.
