"I know. It's unbelievable," she said. "I really don't know what to say. I know I know a lot of people in the township, and I worked hard to get out on the street and meet a lot of (other) people. I guess that meant a lot.

"I'm really anxious to get in there and help take care of my community because it's a great township to live in."
