Dear Friends,
I want my readers and supporters to know first that I will be announcing in a few minutes at our County Board meeting today that I will not seek re-election this year. It will be 28 years of elected public service and about 17 primaries and general election campaigns when my term ends in December. I still love my work, but both my head and my heart are telling me it is time that I pass the baton. To continue the relay analogy, I intend to sprint to the finish and am looking forward to accomplishing a lot for Arlington in the next 11 months. This includes completing our visioning process, “Arlington 2050,” and making our community more energy resilient.
There will be time for more proper thank-yous and acknowledgments in the future. Please know that my friends and supporters have made it possible for me to do this work, which I love. And I look forward, as always, to your thoughts and suggestions as I continue to work for Arlington throughout this year.
Thank you!
Libby
