Sperry said: “I think the election results confirm what I discovered from walking around different Kenmore neighborhoods. Most of the people I met were happy about the positive changes they were seeing in Kenmore and excited about moving forward as a city.

“I am grateful for the support of the voters and for the many volunteers who helped with the campaign,” she added. “I appreciate the opportunity to continue serving the community of Kenmore and am looking forward to completing the highway improvements, finishing our new ‘main street’ and revitalizing our downtown center.”
