Dear Friends,

We did it! I feel truly blessed to be part of this incredible community, and I am more committed than ever to making positive contributions to our town. Change is coming. I am it!

I am deeply grateful to every single person who voted for any candidate, and to everyone who reached out with words of encouragement and support. Your belief in Park City and its future inspires me every day.

I believe the key to our town’s continued success is to focus on the positive we can achieve and to be prepared to make critical decisions from day one. I know in my heart that I am capable of both, and I am ready to get to work.

Thank you for trusting me to represent you and for standing with me through this first step. The road ahead is exciting, and together, we can keep Park City the special place we all love.

With gratitude and commitment,
JK
