To the residents of North Elba:

Please accept my sincere thanks to all of you who took part in campaign efforts, voted in the recent North Elba Town Council and supervisor races, and/or helped out in the electoral process in some manner. From my perspective it was truly invigorating to see so many candidates working hard to secure a spot on the town board. This was no doubt one of the most competitive races that I have seen throughout my political career in North Elba. My congratulations goes out to all of the candidates and campaign teams for all of the hard work.

I also offer my congratulations to those candidates who succeeded to earn a spot on the North Elba town board. Certainly there are many challenges ahead, which will require a team approach to work through issues and find solutions to problems.

I have always been honored by your support to be elected multiple times as a councilman, but am elated to have received your confidence and trust in me to lead North Elba as the next town supervisor.

I pledge to you all that I will do my very best to keep the community moving forward in a positive manner and will strive to do what is best for the community as a whole.

Thank you,

Jay Rand

North Elba town supervisor-elect
