Dear Neighbor,

We did it. With your help, we pulled off a strong win in the general election on November 4th.

I'm grateful for all of the support during the campaign. We wouldn't have made it across the finish line without the volunteer efforts of so many. To all of you who helped knock on doors, make phone calls, hosted yard signs, and much more, thank you.

Now the election is over and the hard work begins. I'm excited and honored to get to work for all of the people of the 5th Ward.

I'm looking forward to working with you and finding new ways to communicate about what your vision for Ann Arbor is. More on that soon. But for the moment, thank you again for all of your support. We did this together.
