Thank You Message to Our Friends and Supporters:
(2010 Lieutenant Governor Primary Election Results)

The 2010 Pennsylvania Primary Election unofficial statewide results are in. Although we did not win the race for Lieutenant Governor, we achieved impressive results in the statewide balloting.

We came in first place with very strong showings in Lehigh, Berks, Lancaster, Susquehanna, Wayne, Lackawanna, Pike, Luzerne, Monroe and Northampton Counties.

We came in second place in 52 other counties throughout Pennsylvania and in many cases with very strong showings, including Erie, Mercer, Crawford, Washington, Dauphin, Bucks, Chester and Bradford Counties, to name a few. We garnered almost 270,000 votes statewide.

These results would not have happened had it not been for the support of so many throughout the state who were committed to our campaign. I am truly grateful for this support!

My experience as a statewide appeals court judge for more than two decades deciding cases that involve every aspect of local and state government has provided me with a keen awareness of many of the issues that we face in Pennsylvania. I am committed to remaining involved in our government to do whatever I can to make it more responsive to our citizens and most importantly to help prepare our young people to assume responsibility for their, and our, future.

I look forward to communicating with our friends and supporters on Facebook, and I hope to stay in touch to discuss our active participation in the upcoming November 2010 general election and beyond.

My very best regards,

Doris A. Smith-Ribner
Candidate for Lieutenant Governor
