To the people of the 10th Bristol District –

Thank you for electing me as your next state representative. On Jan. 1, 2025, I will hit the ground running on your behalf. Thank you for placing your trust in me.

Connecting with voters was so important. Whether knocking on over 8,000 doors, attending local events, meeting with voters in their homes, participating in debates and candidate forums, or just simply talking with people around the community, I listened to what you are most concerned about and what you are most hopeful for.

Our focus during this election was on addressing the increased costs of living, advocating for state aid, fighting for our local industries, combating climate change, protecting our fundamental rights and bringing people together.

I will focus on these issues and advocate for the needs of each of our communities. I look forward to meeting with officials in our six municipalities to discuss how I can help. I will also set office hours in the district to be accessible and available to you. And I will communicate with you regularly to ensure the district is always informed.

To Rep. Straus, thank you for your 32 years of amazing service to the people of our district.  

I am also grateful to our campaign team, volunteers and supporters who worked so hard and truly reflected our positive approach to this election.

And to my family and friends, thank you. I would not have started this journey without your love and support.

Onward together –

Mark Sylvia

State Representative-Elect, 10th Bristol District
