Election day is now in the rearview mirror and although I came up short this time, I want to thank everyone for their love and support during this past year. First, I want to thank my campaign manager Greg Smith, Esq. I had hoped to thank him on the heels of victory but he deserves high praise no matter the outcome. Few people have appreciated his wisdom and brilliance in and out of the courtroom and I have been blessed to have his friendship and mentoring ever since we worked together in the Berkeley County Prosecuting Attorney's Office years ago. Thank you to my wonderful wife Kate and my loving children Liam and Jackson who have been there with me throughout this journey. I love you all more than anything in this world. :) Thank you to John Diamondidis for your hard work in the trenches as well as Sharnjeet Singh for his dedication to our grassroots efforts. Thank you to my parents and family for all of their support and faith in me. Thank you to my friends and loved ones who have stood by me. For those who have voted for me, I recognize your support and will vindicate your trust in me by never giving up in the fight to help our community. You have not given up on me and I will never give up on serving you. Another time will come for me to serve the community but for now I shall be content in helping the people of the panhandle as I always have through my practice and through my life. This is not the end of the journey but only the beginning as our community will still need to overcome the challenges it faces. Rest assured, that I will be there to help in any way that I can. Finally, I would be remiss if I did not publicly congratulate Laura Faircloth on her well earned victory. I also congratulate the Division I winner Bridget Cohee as well on her victory and running an excellent campaign as well. It has been a pleasure getting to know you both better and your family on the campaign trail and I look forward to being able to provide what assistance that I can to the Court. Thank you all and God bless you. Best Wishes, Nicholas
