A letter submitted by School Committee member Connie Pawluk.
To the voters of Danvers: I appreciate your support in the recent election and look forward to serving you for three more years. Please feel free to call me regarding issues of interest or concern at any time. Much gratitude is extended to the many citizens who willingly displayed my signs and handed out flyers. I would like to especially recognize Deb Zorzonello who took the timeto write a letter on my behalf. The coverage given by DCAT, The Salem News, The Danvers Herald and Danvers Patch was outstanding. Finally I would be remiss if I didn't thank my challengers, Alan Vervaeke, Manny Lopes and David Thomson for their willingness to come forward and serve on the School Committee. Thank you for your support and trust. I am honored. …

A letter submitted by new School Committee member David Thomson.
Dear Editor - I'm writing to thank Danvers voters for supporting my candidacy for School Committee in the election held on May 1st. I was very pleased with the response I received from friends, parents with children in the Danvers schools, and even people I didn’t know when I made the decision to run. It was even more rewarding to see the election results and know that so many people put their trust in me to help make our public schools the best they can be. I look forward to joining the School Committee and taking an active role in the process of educating the children of Danvers. Thank you to everyone that encouraged their friends and family to vote for me and to those of you who were kind enough to allow me to put a sign in your …

I want to thank the residents of Danvers for their support in the Town Election. I appreciate every one of the voters who came out on a raw, grey day to vote for the leadership of the town. It was a good campaign with well-intentioned people on all races. I thank Mr. Bettencourt for his involvement and hope he continues his passion for public service. Over the campaign we got to speak on several occasions and he has s strong background. With openings on several committees I hope he can pitch in before his next election bid, if that is his desire. To Mr. Clark, it is always a pleasure, and I enjoy our discussions, and the history lessons, while campaigning. To the voters of Danvers, thank you. -Gardner Trask

Coverage of the 2012 Danvers elections, including the results as we get them.
Welcome to our live coverage of the 2012 Danvers election, straight from Town Hall. Throughout the night we'll be updating results, answering questions, and sharing tidbits of what's happening at Town Hall. Join in the conversation!
We stopped by the four polling locations to find out how voting was going.
Slow was the word workers were using to describe the voter turnout at the polling locations in Danvers this morning. Ten minutes before noon, poll worker Bruce Symmes proudly said Precinct 7 was in the lead in terms of voters. However, he said all eight precincts had less than 100 votes at 11 a.m. Rain has been a contributing factor, poll worker Maureen Kingsley, of Precinct 5, said at Thorpe Elementary, just after noon. Precinct 5 poll worker Marie Duffy said she thinks the voting will pick up when residents get out of work later this afternoon. Check back at 7 p.m. for our live blog of election results.

Lee......Thank you SO much for your kind words! We're not GOING anywhere! I love Danvers! Throughout my campaign no one questioned me on my personal or professional experience which matters most to the town. They only questioned my attendance at some meetings, so, we'll attend meetings and join a board or two. Then when we re-run, what will the nay sayers have to argue about! Thank you VERY MUCH … more ›
