Thank You, Marco Island

On November 3, Marco Island voters elected me to City Council. I am honored and grateful.

Thank you to every voter who placed their trust in me, and to the volunteers and residents who gave their time and shared my message. A campaign is never the work of one person, and I could not have done this without you.

I also thank the other candidates who stepped forward, and the poll workers and election staff who made sure every vote was counted.

To those who did not vote for me: I will represent you, too. A council seat belongs to the whole community, and I want to hear your concerns.

The campaign took a lot of work, but now the real work begins. I will bring careful financial oversight of the city’s budget, a firm commitment to clean water in our canals and bays, and a strong voice for residents to the decisions ahead.

I will listen to everyone, ask tough questions, and do my homework before I vote. I will work every day to earn the confidence you have placed in me.

Our beaches, waterways, and neighborhoods are worth protecting, and so is the sense of community that brought so many of us here. I look forward to serving all of you.

Marco is home. Let’s protect our future together.

Rick Woodworth
