I write to offer my congratulations publicly to Jenny Aitchison on her election as Member for Maitland. All candidates and their families make great sacrifices to contest elections. Well done to all.

I'd like to also thank Robyn Parker for her 12 years of service in Parliament, including four years representing Maitland.
She performed admirably and left Maitland with some great infrastructure improvements, some of which we will see evolve in coming months and years.
They include the highway overpass, two grandstands, Rutherford Technology High School expansion, and stage 2 of The Levee.
Thank you to the 23 per cent of Maitland voters who gave me their vote and the thousands of others who gave me their second preference. In particular, I’d like to thank the dozens of hard working volunteers and hundreds of well wishers.
I look forward to continue to serve Maitland as part of Maitland City Council.
Philip Penfold, Independent candidate for Maitland
