“We received significantly fewer complaints about candidate conduct than last year so I would like to thank the candidates on behalf of the whole committee for acting in a sportsmanlike and ethical manner. I’d like to congratulate every candidate for making the decision to run and participate in the democratic process, and I’d especially like to give my heartfelt congratulations to those who won this year,” Freedman said.
