A Message from Our New Mayor

Gina Cunningham-Picek Wins Mayoral Race

Good Wednesday morning everyone! Gina asked me to send this out this morning as her computer crashed during this mornings thunderstorm.  She wants to thank each and every one of you for helping her achieve this important goal of becoming Mayor of Woodridge!  So anything that you did, be it a sign posting in your yard, a generous donation of money or your time, baking, making phone calls, door to door campaigning, hosting coffees, going to a coffee or attending any other campaign event, talking to your friends and neighbors .... ALL of this contributed to her very successful campaign.

And for this, she thanks you from the bottom of her heart!  It was a very exciting night last night!  And when the final results came in, we were so loud, I'm sure all of Woodridge heard and knew who won!  And a special shout out to Suparossa - thank you for all your wonderful service - the food and the atmosphere was just outstanding.

Last night was the perfect ending to a long campaign journey. Thank you for helping Woodridge make history.
