My open letter to you,🤗
What better day to share some gratitude, I want to take a moment to simply say: Thank you.
Thank you for every moment we shared throughout this past year of campaigning, the early mornings, the long nights, the doorstep conversations, the events, and the heartfelt stories you trusted me with. Each interaction reiterated to me why Webster is such a remarkable place. Our town is strong because of the people who call it home, and walking this journey with you has been one of the greatest honors of my life. You believed in me, and I will never forget that. 🥹
☘To my family, your unwavering love, PATIENCE, and belief carried me through every high and low and sleepless nights. To our incredible volunteers who gave their time and hearts in the rain, snow, and sunshine, you are the backbone of everything we were able to accomplish. To the local businesses who welcomed and supported us, thank you for being the heartbeat of this community.
💪To the WDC, MCDC, and WFP — your confidence, endorsement, and encouragement will always mean the world to me. And to Marybeth McCarthy and my campaign family, whose guidance and persistence pushed us forward day after day, I am deeply grateful.
🥰I am thankful as well for the county-wide support, the national endorsements, and the encouragement from local and state leaders who stood behind the mission we set out to achieve. Your belief strengthened my purpose and fueled my determination.
While we may not have won personally, this Thanksgiving I am celebrating the many outstanding candidates who did. Webster’s future is bright, and our community will be in exceptional hands. Congratulations to Judge DiSalvo on a close and hard-fought race, this journey has been meaningful, and our town will be well served.
❤From the bottom of my heart, thank you, Webster... for the conversations, the support, the faith, and the solidarity. This experience has changed me, strengthened me, and filled me with gratitude.
With appreciation and pride for the community I love,
Your neighbor,
Brittany Bonanno

🙏A Thanksgiving Reflection: 🦃
..And because I’m an analysis- and data-driven person, I want to share a snapshot of how meaningful this year truly was. This was the closest election Webster has seen in two decades and the numbers tell an inspiring story of growth, engagement, and a community finding its voice.
For many years, specifically, Webster’s judicial elections were defined by long stretches of uncontested races, with Republican/Conservative candidates running unopposed in nine of thirteen cycles from 2001–2023.
But with this year’s competitive race, the true voice of the community emerged. A difference of approximately 212 votes, in a town where unopposed candidates once broke 10,000... shows just how evenly balanced, engaged, and thoughtful Webster has become.
It reflects a community that wants choice. That wants accountability. That wants representation aligned with who we are today, not the political structures of decades past.
The numbers tell the story of a town that is no longer defined by automatic outcomes. Instead, Webster is becoming more engaged, more diverse in political expression, and more willing to consider new voices. The tightening margins and energized turnout show a community that is paying attention — and participating with purpose.
From a landscape once dominated by unopposed races to a modern era of competitive elections and razor-thin margins, Webster’s political profile has transformed. Year after year, the momentum grows.
Be proud of yourselves.
You are the change.✌
