To my Friends and Supporters,

I would like to thank each and every one of you for the support, encouragement, contributions of time and money and the countless hours put in by so many over the course over the past year.  While the Primary results were not what we had hoped for, I see victory in what we have accomplished, and in what we represent.

I would like to remind everyone of just some the successes we have achieved:

• collecting 3,200 signatures in just two weeks
• getting 24% of the vote in a Congressional Primary, in what was the first political endeavor for most of the people associated with the campaign (including me!)
• coming together as a cohesive and highly effective team, on an almost exclusively volunteer basis, while juggling careers, families, and life.
• We changed the dialog, and proved that each person can make a difference

But most importantly, we ran a clean campaign, maintained our integrity and delivered our message, your message, with clarity and courage.

It has been an honor and a privilege getting to know each of you, and working side by side.  While I did not know most of you at the beginning, I feel as though I have made lifelong friends. 

Many people are asking "What's next?"  The short answer is I don't know.  I am going to take some time with my family, and get back to earning a living.  As for politics, I will not close the door on any future possibilities.  Like many of you, I have experienced an awakening and feel compelled to act.  We must never stop fighting for the principles this country was founded on, and this is only the beginning. 

I look forward to seeing you in the coming weeks, and to nurturing the friendships we have developed.  Keep the faith, and hold your heads high - I am immensely proud of what we achieved.

God Bless,

Rob
