Candidate thanks to voters: Zon Eastes

GUILFORD-Thank you to the voters of Vernon and Guilford. I am honored to step forward as the Democratic nominee for Windham-1 and humbled by the trust you have placed in me.

By a 3:1 margin, voters embraced our positive, issues-based campaign. This victory is more than just for me - it's a win for our communities.

Our campaign celebrates the enthusiastic efforts of so many. To the volunteers who wrote postcards, canvassed, hosted lawn signs, organized events, and made get-out-the-vote calls - hats off to all of you! And to the many spirited donors who fueled our campaign, thank you for your belief in our shared vision.

I also want to acknowledge those who did not vote for me. I hear your concerns, and I am committed to earning your trust and support as we approach the general election in November.
