I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who supported Beth McGinn in her run for the 37th Representative District. As a novice to the political process she had a very respectable showing against an incumbent candidate with positive name recognition. However, throughout her campaign there were so many who encouraged and ultimately voted for her. I am proud to have been a part of her journey.
I would like to thank Kim Baker for being extremely helpful and kind; the many supporters who sent notes on Beth’s behalf; and especially to the Cape Gazette and Editor Trish Vernon for providing non-partisan representation in their Viewpoints pages that allowed readers to get information on the issues and how the candidates would address them along with personal insights.

A letter to the editor expresses a reader's opinion and, as such, is not reflective of the editorial opinions of this newspaper.
To submit a letter to the editor for publishing, send an email to viewpoints@capegazette.com. All letters are considered at the discretion of the newsroom and published as space allows. Due to the large volume of submissions, we cannot acknowledge receipt of each submission. Letters must include a phone number and address for verification. Keep letters to 400 words or fewer. We reserve the right to edit for content or length. Letters should be responsive to issues addressed in the Cape Gazette rather than content from other publications or media. Letters should focus on local issues, not national topics or personalities. Only one letter per author will be published every 30 days regarding a particular topic. Authors may submit a second letter within that time period if it pertains to a different issue. Letters may not be critical of personalities or specific businesses. Criticism of public figures is permissible. Endorsement letters for political candidates are no longer accepted. Letters must be the author’s original work, and may not be generated by artificial intelligence tools. Templates, form letters and letters containing language similar to other submissions will not be published.
