I want to thank you, the Ward 3 constituents who voted for me in the recent municipal election, showing your overwhelming support for my continued representation of you on the Board of Alderman. Many of my constituents are also my friends and my family and I have always been, and continue to be, grateful for the outpouring of support we have received during this challenging time. My family and I wish you a wonderful holiday season with friends and family.

Sincerely,
Tom Taylor
Alderman Ward 3
