Friends,

I want to take a moment to thank each and every one of you who supported me over the past year and a half.

Through the toughest days, you were there—lifting me up with your kindness, your actions, and your encouragement. I am deeply and forever grateful for each of you.

Please know that while this election may be over, my commitment to creating positive change for our community will never waver. I am profoundly thankful for your belief in me and our shared vision.

Much Love,

Mel

P.S. We put everything we had into this campaign. If you are able, we need to settle our campaign debts and pay the staff who poured everything of themselves into this effort. I would truly appreciate your help, and will never forget your generosity in this trying time.

In Solidarity,

-Mel Manuel
