I have so many people to thank from friends and family to my fellow Board of Selectmen, who I have learned so much from! But first, I want to recognize Mark Vallone & Greg Tillman, who both ran a strong campaign! We run for State Representatives because we believe in doing what’s best for our community, and it is our community that picks us to be their Representatives. Secondly, I want to thank everyone who voted for me. We worked hard and I couldn’t have done this without your help! I am so honored to have received support from so many people! Thank you to my wife Emily and my family! Without their support, I wouldn’t have run in the first place! As your Selectmen I have always said that I will bring honesty, and transparency to the Board of Selectmen. I will continue to do the same as your State Representative. I am humbled and honored to serve the Epping community in Concord. I can’t wait to get to work for the people of Epping! I will be meeting with department heads to see what they need from the State as we will be allowed to start filing legislation soon. I ask that if anyone in the community has something that is important to them, please reach out to me so that we can discuss this. We did it! And, in the end, I do not represent anyone but my community. It is important to me, that I not support a national agenda, but one that best represents my town. As I said on the phone to Former Representative Mark Vallone when he called, I will be reaching out to him often to get that balanced opinion that is needed these days. Epping, I truly can’t thank you enough for everything you have given me, and my family! When we moved to town we quickly fell in love with the people! I look forward to serving in the House of Representatives with Michael Vose, I can certainly learn a lot and I am honored to be serving with him. March will be my last term as a Selectmen, the time commitment needed for both positions is more than I can commit. But I will finish this year and finish this term protecting the pockets of Epping taxpayers as I have always done.
Thank you,
State Representative-Elect, Cody Belanger
