I want to thank the voters for participating in the election. Their participation in the election process reflects a true appreciation for our democratic process-that faith no doubt at times tested by negative ads and mud-slinging.

I especially thank those voters who supported me to be state representative for the 35th House District. I am committed to the people of the 35th District and will give all my effort to representing the best interests of the people of Clinton, Killingworth, and Westbrook.

As I stated during my campaign, I will fight to improve our state's economy, growing jobs and spurring business growth. I will advocate for constituents who need my help in Hartford in state government.

I look forward to serving the people of the 35th District and I thank the voters for their support.

State Representative-elect Tom Vicino Clinton
