Contributor Opinion By Susan Hoffmann: Thank You For The Honor Of Serving

>Dear Residents of Rockville:

I wish to express my gratitude to each and every one of you for giving me the high honor to serve you as Mayor and previously as a Councilmember. I wish I could be in direct touch with you, but this open letter to all will have to suffice.

As I said in my 2009 campaign kickoff speech . . . “my love affair with Rockville continues.” And that is and will always be the case. To serve a City . . . a community that one loves, is a great honor indeed, but also an enormous privilege that befalls only the most fortunate among us. I do, however, recommend it highly. Public service is extremely rewarding and provides an opportunity to give back that is without equal.

My family and I have been blessed with much love and support from our fellow residents. I have received an avalanche of good wishes and good thoughts. Your kindness is most appreciated.

Local grassroots politics is the best, most gratifying politics and Rockville does it as well as anywhere. Going door-to-door to learn what’s on the minds of our neighbors cannot be duplicated by any other activity. Rain or shine, voters are grateful that we are interested in seeking out their problems and opinions. I highly recommend it…whether as a candidate or an advocate for a candidate.

My congratulations to Mayor Marcuccio and the newly-elected City Council. May wisdom and good judgment continue to serve you well. Kudos to everyone who was a candidate this year. I believe that the caliber of candidates in the 2009 campaign has raised the bar for all future elections and I salute you. I shall continue to be a proud resident of Rockville and look forward to seeing you out and about throughout the City.

Best,
Susan Hoffmann
