I just want to say how truly humbled I am that the people have placed their trust in me. For the past 10 to 12 weeks, I’ve gone door to door through the rain, the cold, and the heat because I wanted to make sure your representative works for you.
I also received a phone call from my friend Stefan Wilson, who ran a good campaign. I’ve been involved in politics for a long time, and I can honestly say it was a clean race. I appreciate that very much.
I look forward to working together with my longtime friend and now fellow Commissioner Neal Porter. I believe our experiences together will help serve the people of this county well.
Most importantly, I want to thank God for giving me this opportunity and the strength to do it. I want to thank my family, especially my mom, who was a nervous wreck for most of this campaign, along with my friends and the fellow commissioners who supported me even while they were running their own races. That says a lot about the leadership we have in this county.
I also want to thank everyone who helped make this possible. To those who put signs up, made phone calls, knocked doors alongside me, and worked the polls yesterday, thank you. Campaigns are never won by one person alone, and I truly appreciate every single person who gave their time and energy to help us reach this moment.
We have a long road ahead and a lot of big decisions to make. The work starts now. The people have spoken, and I will not lose sight of why you elected me.
Thank you all again. I am truly honored.
