Hi John,
By now, you've probably seen the results: we came in third.
I wanted to wait a few days before emailing you, because 77,000 additional votes have been counted since election night, and there are still about 40,000 left to be counted, but the results are clear.
I'll write more later once all the votes have been counted, but for now, I just wanted to say: thank you so much.
I couldn't have run this campaign without my supporters like you.
So far, I have 29,024 votes: 13.04%.
We made over 900,000 phone calls.
We made over 1 million voter contact attempts (including texts and pre-pandemic canvassing).
We raised over $300,000.
We talked to people who'd never had a political campaign call them before.
We persuaded moderates, independents, and Republicans (yes, really) to vote for me.
I can never thank you enough, and I hope you'll let me stay in touch.
