Dear Family, Friends and Supporters,

Thank you so much for your prayers, support, encouragement, and help during the campaign. It has truly been an honor to meet so many of the good people of Harford County and hear your concerns. Though we did not prevail in the primary, I will continue to work behind the scenes to make sure your concerns are being addressed.

Congratulations to Norm Cochran and Jesse Bane on their primary victories, and I wish them and their families all the best.

There are a few people I would like to give special thanks to:

• My beautiful wife, Beverly. Bev has supported me from the very start of this campaign and endured many things for me to run this race. Without her steadfast support, I never could have done this. She has my undying gratitude and affection.
• My children, Julia, James, Christiana, Mark, Nathan, Matthew, Amanda, and Alyssa. They endured fundraisers, events, proudly wore their "Tritt for Sheriff" T-shirts often, went waving, door-knocking, and provided a lot of support and encouragement. What a blessing to have such a great family!
• Brian and Jo Powell. Brian managed the campaign, putting in many long hours and hard work. Brian did a lot with what we had, and although we were outspent by tens of thousands of dollars, we finished less than 900 votes county-wide behind the top vote getter. Jo endured many hours without her husband while he helped with the campaign. Jo also made phone calls and worked hard to help with the campaign.

Thanks to my parents, David Sr. and Betsy who instilled in me the values that made me get involved in the first place.

Thanks to everyone who supported us financially, or with in-kind donations.

Thanks to Travis Seitler for setting up the website.

Thanks to everyone who advertised for us by putting a sign in their yard.

Thanks to everyone who volunteered in the campaign– poll workers, sign-wavers, letter-stuffing, and door-knocking.

Thanks to the families that helped us with fundraising events– The Hollin Family, the Gills, the Delps, Amanda Olsavsky, The Mitchell Family, Rob Warlick, the Melani family, Jim Lewis and Family, and all the others I have neglected to mention.

A special thanks to the deputy sheriffs and others in the law enforcement and corrections community who believed in me and supported us behind the scenes. If there is any way I can serve you, please do not hesitate to ask.

Finally, if you have any campaign literature left over, please recycle it. If you need a yard sign picked up, please email me at dave@trittforsheriff.com and we will come and get it. Yes, we are saving them, just in case…

Your Humble Servant,

Dave Tritt
