As you probably know by now, July 26th, I did not make it into the run-off for this election. I congratulate my opponents and wish them the best of luck for the future. But today, I feel nothing but gratitude and pride in the campaign you all helped me run. We’ve made lots of new friends, know a whole lot more about the needs and concerns of citizens and have identified ways that I can help make this community better whether I’m a legislator or not.
