As I reflect back on the past few months, I am deeply grateful for the hundreds of volunteers who personally supported me and for the thousands who voted and participated in our democratic process. It has been an honor to talk with each of you and your outpouring of support humbles me.

My deepest thanks go to my family and friends who have supported me without fail during this election process and in the many opportunities of community service that have been offered to me. To the hundreds who have helped our campaign by walking our neighborhoods, contributing financially, helping with mailings, placing signs in their yards, making phone calls, or writing your neighbors…thank you! I am touched and grateful for your help…we couldn't have accomplished it without you!

I also want to extend my thanks to Commissioner Vicki Vargo for her six years of service to District 3 and Orlando…I look forward to working with her and her staff during this transition period.

Now, we move to the tasks at hand. Over the next few weeks, I will be working closely with Comm. Vargo as we make the transition leading up to assuming the office of City Commissioner on June 1. There will be many adjustments…to my personal life, my career at the Christian Service Center, and my new responsibilities as your new City Commissioner. There is much to learn and with patience, we will start our next four years together on firm footing.

It is an honor to serve you and I look forward to working with each neighborhood in District 3 as we continue to make Orlando a great place of which we can all be proud. Until I assume office on June 1, you can continue to contact me by calling 407-423-0037 or through my website at www.VoteStuart.com.

Sincerely,

Robert F. Stuart, Commissioner-Elect
City of Orlando, District 3
