Tom Terranova thanked his supporters and sent best wishes to his former rival in the selectman's race on Tuesday morning.

The following is a statement that Terranova provided to Lynnfield Patch Tuesday morning, following the town election.

"I want to thank my election committee and the nearly 700 voters that came out to support my campaign for selectman and remind them how important their VOICE is.

My feelings for our town have not changed and I will continue to support Lynnfield as I have for the previous 14 years with the same passion and enthusiasm that I bring to all aspects of my life.

I wish the new Selectman the best in helping to lead our town."
