In every election, one person must win and the other will lose. Now more than ever, it is important to show our children how to be gracious in victory and humble in defeat.

Congratulations to Mr. Molinaro on your win. Upon her exit in January, Mayor Reynolds will leave behind some very big shoes to fill, I look forward to this opportunity for you to show us what you can do in your new role. I wish you well in your term as Mayor and I look forward to working with you.

Thank you to everyone who supported my campaign, I truly appreciate you! I look forward to continuing my work on the City Council. I will continue to be your voice and push forward for solutions.

I have been contacted by people who are upset by the outcome, I ask that you not be. I believe in the voting process and love that we have the right to vote for our leaders in this country. This is not the end. This is simply the beginning.
