| just want to say thank you for their service. And | also want to thank Madam Clerk for everything that she did
for a smooth election process. | know we had lines that wrapped around the building, both for new
registrations as well for walk-in, you know, votes for people that were voting. It went as smooth as you can
expect. So I’d like to thank Ms. Lovering for all of that. Thank you.
Alderman Cleaver
Thank you very much. | would like to acknowledge our wonderful Clerk and her staff for the fantastic job they
did on Election Day and prior to Election Day and subsequent to Election Day. | can’t imagine the amount of
work, the amount of hours you devoted to this. So hurray for the Clerk’s Office and all the workers there and
everything they did to make it a success.
| also want to acknowledge and thank the poll workers, they did a great job, under very difficult, unusual and
unprecedented circumstances. | would also like to thank, specifically, the Ward 8 poll workers, who did an
absolutely fantastic job. It went smooth as silk and we are very, very fortunate to have such wonderful people
in our democratic process. So thank you very much.
Alderwoman Kelly
Thank you. | first want to start off by thanking Alderman Wilshire and Mayor Donchess for doing Veterans up
front, it was really nice to hear from our Board members about their service and | thank them for their service
and | thank all Veterans in our community for their service. Our way of life is only possible because of the
things you have done, so thank you so much for that. | also wanted to say, | don’t even know how to say
thank you to Sue Lovering for the incredible job during the election. We were lined out the doors with new
voters at Ward 5 and everything just went so incredibly smoothly. | also just want to thank the citizens of
Nashua for coming out in record numbers and exercising their right to vote and put their voice out there,
because it is really important to be involved at all levels. So thank you so much for that.
Did | miss anything, oh the Holiday Parking. | was just talking about in general downtown and how this helps
downtown businesses, but | can see that that was potentially confusing. So thank you.
Alderman Harriott-Gathright
| want to say thank you to Sue Lovering and her crew, as always a great job. We had quite a few new people
in the polls in Ward 9 and they did an exceptional job, really did. And | was speaking to one of my
constituents that worked there and she said it wasn’t too bad, | was home by 11. So | thought that was great,
so just kudos to you and the team Sue and thank you for all the help. | mean if | call you, you respond, you
give me answers, you tell me what | need to know and | really appreciate it. Thank you.
Alderman Lopez
Yes so first | wanted to apologize, | checked my email while we were talking and | did find your email, you
sent it at 11:45 today. | was just working, | didn’t really notice it.
President Wilshire
| sent it | think over the weekend.
Alderman Lopez
There might be something wrong because my time stamp says 11:43. But | did actually receive it so | wanted
to clarify that | do have it. | also wanted to point out or clarify any misunderstandings that | might have
conveyed. | didn’t bring up any concerns about parliamentary procedure myself. | was pointing out that it is
used effectively. And that my opinion was that people may be more effectively advocating in their own
particular way.
