Thank You!
We put up a great fight, but things didn’t go our way.
We all knew this would be a tough race when we started. We know that voter registration tilted in favor of our opponents.
But we ran a great race – all of us – and we have nothing to be sorry about.
We ran a race we all should be proud of.
I certainly am proud of you. And I am grateful to all of you for your hard work and your support.
This was an amazing election, and I would not have missed it for anything.
With each passing year, the Republicans in our area grow weaker and weaker. They know, just as we know, that our time is coming in this community.
You have sent a great message, and I am so glad I was a part of it.
You have given me a great gift: the gift of trust and support.
I would have loved to win. Who wouldn’t? But that was not in the cards.
Still, I have no regrets. We did our best.
I come away from this campaign with great pride and gratitude. And I come away from it knowing that the day is coming very soon when our communities will have a Democratic representative in Sacramento.
Thank you.
