Folks are concerned about losing the small town flavor. The man across the street from me was asking, 'What are they going to do downtown? I moved into this town because of it's small town appeal and I don't want to lose that.' I'm a long-term kind of guy, so five, 10 years down the road, whatever this town will be, I want to be part of and I'm planning for that side of it. |
I didn't win, the Town of Herndon won. That is not trivia. The mood of the town has been one that they have wanted to change for a while. We campaigned on issues that were relevant to the problems. |
The first amendment [guaranteeing free speech] is alive and well here in Herndon. |
You can expect camera crews and that it's going to be an historical election both in terms of the town and that of the national immigration issue. I welcome the attention to the issues, but I'm dismayed that it has been this emotional. |
