To the residents of Gloucester City,

Congratulations to Nick Marchese, Jay Brophy and Dan Spencer on their well organized campaign. I am honored to have run against such a hard working opponent and wish these fine men great success in the coming three years.

I would like to extend my earnest appreciation to all of you who supported and aided in my campaign for Gloucester City Council. I can honestly say that I have found this experience to be on of the most rewarding and humbling of my life.

I would also like to thank my wife Gina for all of her love, dedication and strength as she has been my rock, my friend, my advisor and my biggest advocate.

My sincerest thanks to all of you had confidence in me and cast your vote for my campaign. I can never fully express the gratitude I feel for showing me such faith.

I look forward to working with all of our citizens and our City government in helping to continue Gloucester City’s growing prosperity into the future.

Kindest regards,

Wil Levins, Gloucester City
