If you're one of those folks who doesn't think your vote counts, think again. In an almost historically low turnout, the Second Ward Seat was decided by a mere 29 votes. That's right, 29.
A testament to a couple well-run campaigns, we apparently struck a cord with an almost identical amount of supporters. The good news is that our platforms were largely similar and I hope to be able to accomplish many of the same things that we both talked about to the many folks we met at various forums, meetings and door-to-door.
The not so good news is that a nearly equal amount of folks thought that I may not be the right person for the job. That leaves me in an interesting position of attempting to earn the respect of a number of folks who live in my ward and see the same things I see everyday.
It will be challenging, but I believe I'm up to it. I am proud to be a representative of folks in our great city and look forward to the opportunity to serve them on the Columbia City Council.
Thank you to all who supported me, helped with my campaign and voted for me.
I will continue to work hard and will do my best to earn what you have given me.
