Having just completed my first formal run for a seat on the Bar Harbor Town Council -- after last year being available as a write-in -- it seems appropriate to create a blog to share observations and ideas. This year's run was unsuccessful in getting me elected, but was very successful in allowing me to meet and network with many friends and neighbors and share ideas about our community.
For those who missed my reasons for running or how I voted or the candidates debate, I will include links here. The election results are available on the Town of Bar Harbor website. Although only receiving 12.6% of the votes cast, I feel I did ok, since I was a virtual unknown and went against the tide on some popular issues in a field of well known and popular candidates.
I congratulate my friends and neighbors Jane Disney and Peter St. Germain on their election to the Bar Harbor Town Council, and hope they do well in their first term of office.
