, The people of Texas have spoken. And unfortunately, we didn’t make it. But if you think this is the last you’ll hear of me, think again. The fight to build a better East Texas is an ongoing one. And I plan to stay in it for many, many years to come. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for sticking with me throughout this crazy campaign journey. We’ve had a lot of ups and downs, but in the end we stuck together and made an impact that we haven’t felt in East Texas in a very long time. The people are hungry for change. And I am ready to keep standing shoulder to shoulder with you to build a stronger future for East Texas. Thanks again for everything, and God bless you. Hank Gilbert |
