No, I did not win the election on November 4th..... but I feel like a winner
as a result of all of the wonderful support I received during the process.  A very big thank you goes out to all who voted for me, donated to the campaign, gave support or kind words, put up signs, walked with me, treated me with kindness when I knocked on your door, attended a fundraiser, helped stuff envelopes or helped in a myriad of other ways.  This was a wonderful journey, an amazing learning experience, a huge honor and for this I am grateful.  I will continue to pursue the issues that made up our platform and to serve in my community.  I have enjoyed getting to know each and every one of you and you have my deepest gratitude for helping me in this effort. We can make a difference!!
