I would like to thank the voters of District 1 for their continued confidence in me as their County Supervisor. Additionally, I'd like to thank my incredibly dedicated group of volunteers -- who spent countless hours walking neighborhoods, reaching out to voters, and believing in our campaign.

We have much to tackle over the next four years and I look forward to rolling up my sleeves and getting back to work. From job creation and retention to combatting crime, graffiti and gangs, I promise to work hard every day to seek solutions that will make our communities stronger and safer.

As I stressed during the campaign, my door is always open -- and I hope that District 1 residents will feel free to contact me with their thoughts, ideas, or questions.
