From the Bottom of My Heart — Thank You!
Dear Friends, Supporters, Volunteers, Donors, Sponsors, Hosts, and Co-Hosts,
Today, I want to take a brief pause from the campaign trail to simply say thank you.
Last night’s event was not just another campaign gathering — it was a powerful reminder of what community, sacrifice, and shared hope truly look like. Seeing so many people come together, not for personal gain, but because they believe in a mission bigger than themselves, deeply moved me.
I want to extend my deepest gratitude to every volunteer, supporter, donor — both in-kind and monetary — sponsor, host, and co-host who made the event possible. Campaigns are demanding, exhausting, and often overwhelming. The truth is: without people like you, it is virtually impossible to run an effective campaign.
Volunteers are not “just volunteers.” They are the heartbeat, the lifeline, and the soul of a campaign.
There are no words strong enough to fully acknowledge your sacrifice. You give your time, energy, resources, and trust not because you have to — but because you believe. You believe in me. You believe in our shared vision. You believe that together we can build something better for our community and future generations.
That kind of trust is sacred to me, and I carry it with immense humility and responsibility.
A very special thank you to Kabir Islam Bhai for leading the charge with tireless dedication, and to Tanveer Bhai for generously sponsoring and supporting the event alongside so many others who stepped forward with kindness and generosity.
I also want to recognize my incredible campaign staffers and volunteers who continue to work tirelessly day and night with unwavering dedication. Meet “The Council Circle,” the team leading the charge in this movement:

And above all, I want to thank my wife, whose sacrifice often goes unseen. She has been working tirelessly alongside the team every single second — supporting, organizing, encouraging, and carrying this journey with me through every challenge and every moment. In addition to all of that, she has also been fully and independently taking care of our two super kids, Dua and Eman, ensuring our family remains strong and grounded while I continue this demanding campaign journey.
Campaigns demand sacrifices not only from candidates, but from families as well, and her strength, patience, resilience, and unwavering commitment have been a blessing beyond words. Whatever this campaign achieves, a tremendous part of that credit belongs to her.

I also want to thank all the candidates who attended and continue to serve our community through public service. Campaigning is hard — emotionally, mentally, and physically — but it is also one of the most rewarding and fulfilling acts of service. It is an honor that comes with immense responsibility, accountability, transparency, and trust.
