We are 11 days out from the primary election. When I write to you next week we will be on the eve of our primary get out the vote weekend. This primary is the first step in continuing the hard work that has made our city stronger. In the next 11 days, be sure to make a plan to vote, and sign up to volunteer to help make sure your neighbors vote. Information on voting in Manchester is available here [[link removed]] , and information about how to volunteer during GOTV is available here. [[link removed]]

Congratulations to Derek and his '99 Mustang for winning the Mayor's Choice Award at the Rotary Club of Manchester's Cruising Downtown car show. Derek specially built this car for his brother who is a quadriplegic, with special controls and a trailer. Downtown was filled with around 1,000 amazing cars last Saturday. Thanks to Art who let me sit in '57 Bel Air, which he has owned since he was 21!
