Councilwoman-elect Susan Knudsen thanks supporters

To the editor:

On Tuesday, Ridgewood residents chose the two candidates for Village Council who they believed would best guide the future of the village, partly because we care about Ridgewood as deeply as they do.

In deciding to support Mike Sedon and me, residents recognized our shared belief in the importance of maintaining the unique charm and character of Ridgewood, attaining a balance of healthy growth and providing responsible, efficient government.

Since picking up a candidate packet in January, I have been touched by the support, time, energy and effort of so many willing to work toward our mutual goal of preserving the aspects of village life that make Ridgewood a special place to live, work and visit.

I’m writing to express my thanks to those who signed my nominating petitions, made campaign contributions, delivered signs, displayed “Vote Knudsen” lawn signs, wrote letters of endorsement, helped create campaign literature, hosted coffees, parties and rallies, made phone calls, sent emails, donated office space and telephone use, offered words of support and more.

Village grassroots organizations, thank you for your unequivocal support. The Preserve Graydon Coalition, Concerned Residents of Ridgewood, Citizens for a Better Ridgewood and Ridgewood Eastside Development exemplify what’s fine about our community, raising our level of awareness to protect Ridgewood’s future.

Thank you to my wonderful family and dear friends for their unwavering support.

Finally, thank you, to the 2,723 fellow residents (plus myself!) who entered a voting booth and placed an “x” next to my name, and to all those who took the time to exercise their right to vote.

Susan Knudsen, Councilwoman-Elect

Ridgewood
