The results did not go our way, and I want to say clearly and without spin: I am grateful.
Thank you to every neighbor who opened a door, every family who put a sign in the yard, every volunteer who gave up a Saturday, and everyone who took the time to tell me what worries them about this place we all love.
Running for office teaches you humility fast. It also teaches you that most people are not angry — they are tired of not being heard. That lesson is staying with me.
I am still here. Still in the same neighborhood, still in the same church pew, still stuck in the same traffic. The work of being a good neighbor does not require a title.
