Many Thanks From Phil Smartt

  • Thursday, May 15, 2014

I want to extend my heartfelt thanks and appreciation to all those volunteers who helped in my campaign.   

A special thanks to my family members and especially my wife, Gloria, for their loyal support.   

It was a real pleasure meeting citizens of District 7 as we knocked on thousands of doors, everyone was so friendly, nice and considerate.  There could not be any friendlier people in the world.  I also would like to thank those who came out to vote.   

My congratulations to Sabrena Turner, and I wish her every success in her role as our new county commissioner.
