A Big Thank You to All Supporters and This Closing Thought

I want to say thank you to each and everyone of you... you are awesome.

Thank you for your help and support through this campaign. Also, thank you for all the support coming in over the last 48 hours.

I have had the wonderful blessing in my lifetime to make friends with great people all over the world. Your calls, emails and messages have been a real help both during the campaign and in the hours after...

We tried hard and I cannot convey how much your efforts mean to me. However, there is much work to be done for this City, and we need to get to it. In the meantime, I hope you hear my heart. I love Rexburg -- serving it (and you) gives me great joy.

So, again, blessings on you and yours... I treasure your friendship and will always be thankful for it.

"Donna, you are a class act!

"Your drive, enthusiasm and excitement about Rexburg's future is contagious. Having met each candidate, (and watched the way their campaigns were ran), I'm certain that a vote for Donna Benfield was the right choice.

"Taking your approach, I'm going to look for the good in this outcome. So... here's what I came up with -- the good news is that the Council got three new faces, and we get your voice for at least two more years!

"I am saddened to see how few understand how big your impact *for* this community is... However, I know you don't dwell on those things so I'll stop and close by thanking you for running. And, thank you for what you do for Rexburg. In some parts of this berg it's appreciated."
