Gail Dorfman for Hennepin County Commissioner

Dear Residents of the Third District,

Thank you for your support this election season. I'm honored that you've chosen me to continue to serve as your Hennepin County Commissioner. This was not an easy race. My opponent put forth an aggressive and well-funded campaign and voters here and across the country expressed their frustrations on election day by voting out many incumbents. Many dedicated progressive public servants were defeated - a tremendous loss for Minnesota and the Nation. We had to work doubly hard to connect with the voters of southwest Minneapolis and St. Louis Park to get the message out about the good work of Hennepin County government.

I want to offer a special thanks to my campaign staff and all of the volunteers who helped with door-knocking, dropping literature, and phone calling. To everyone who donated to the campaign, displayed a yard sign, wrote a letter to the papers or talked with your neighbors and friends about this campaign, thank you so much. I am humbled by your support and grateful for your efforts. Thank you for being a part of the 2010 campaign!

All of your work produced a great election night victory in both southwest Minneapolis and St. Louis Park. It was a tremendous grass roots effort with victory in every precinct! For complete election results, click here.

On the County Board, I will continue to work to deliver real results for our communities - implementing our plan to end homelessness, delivering a balanced transit system, building healthy communities, providing access to services for people in need, and working on projects and initiatives that help make Hennepin County a great place to live, work, and play.

Please contact me with any ideas, issues or concerns you have over the months ahead. I look forward to continuing to work with you to get real results for our communities here in Hennepin County.

Thanks for all your support.

Gail
