To the editor:

I am honored and grateful to the voters of Barrington and Warren who elected me to serve as your next District 67 State Representative. 

To everyone who volunteered, knocked on doors, made phone calls, planted a lawn sign, voted, talked with their friends, or simply offered words of encouragement along the way, please know how much it meant to me. Every conversation, every handshake, every expression of support reminded me why this race was so important, and I am humbled by the confidence the people of this district have placed in me.

Throughout this campaign, I had the opportunity and privilege of meeting so many wonderful people, listening to concerns and hopes, and learning more about what matters most to our community. Those conversations reinforced why I chose to run for office in the first place: to be a strong, accessible, and responsive voice for the people I will represent.

While elections are about choosing leaders--and they may divide us--serving in public office is about bringing people together. Whether you supported my campaign or voted for another candidate, I want you to know that I will work hard to represent every resident of this district. My door is open, and I hope people remain in touch.

There is much work ahead, and I am ready to get started. Together, we can build on what makes our community special, address the challenges we face, and create opportunities and growth for Barrington, Warren and all of Rhode Island.

Thank you for your encouragement and trust. 

With gratitude, 

Nicole Jellinek
