I did not win the City Council election, but it was a GREAT turnout. The First Ward was close to doubling our neighboring Ward’s voters. If you know me you know how important I believe voting to be, especially as a woman!

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who supported me. I made a ton of new friends. I found quite a few kindred spirits. We all love living here, but recognize there are issues (in some cases generational) that need to be addressed and real lasting change needs to take place.

I hope that I helped those within our community who feel marginalized to keep voicing their concerns and keep fighting the good fight against crime and wasteful spending and protecting our historical and environmental treasures.

I hope that the businesses, who are vital to our mutual success but many of whom cannot vote, felt heard and valued the way they always should.

I hope A LOT of new energy and new ideas to address the same old problems are creeping into conversations around the Ward.

A special thanks to my girl tribe for lifting me up when people said and did unkind things and celebrating the many wins of this campaign over the last five months. I love and appreciate you.

Now on to figuring out what to do next. 🙂

Best wishes always,
Cat
