Dear John,

As I reflect on the past twenty years and more recently, the challenges we've faced together, I am profoundly moved by your unwavering support. The recent accusations were not only baseless but took a significant personal toll on me. During this time, your messages of encouragement and steadfast faith in my integrity have been my pillars of strength.

This ordeal reminded me of the importance of community and resilience. Thanks to you, I remained focused on our shared vision for a just and equitable California. Now, more than ever, I am committed to championing the values we hold dear and driving meaningful change across our state.

Looking forward, I am filled with optimism. Together, we have much to accomplish, and I am eager to continue working on behalf of all Californians. Your support has not just sustained me; it has emboldened me to strive harder to build the California we believe in.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for standing by me. Let's look to the future with hope and determination to make our state a better place for everyone.
