To my family, friends, supporters, donors: To say you are amazing is an understatement. This has been the most INNOVATIVE campaign ever and as the final ballot numbers roll in (and it looks like the results will not be in our favor) I want you to know how much I appreciate the tireless efforts of all my supporters.<\/p>\n

We not only accomplished grassroots campaigning (knocking on thousands of doors while practicing \u2018social distancing\u2019 and making phone calls), but also, we thought critically and did things that you likely have never seen, like: \u201cCooking with the Candidate,\u201d \u201cIt\u2019s 3pm and I\u2019m checking in\u201d & \u201cConvo with a Candidate.\u201d Those approaches, in the midst of COVID-19, were not only welcomed but also embraced. Thank you for your commitment to detail as we swam through the murky and ever-changing seas in North County, San Diego.<\/p>\n

You should be so proud of yourselves! We ran an honorable campaign in a\u00a0truly David vs. Goliath fight! We should never give up on our community, state, or country! And please know that I will never stop fighting for you, because straightening out California must be accomplished for our children and grandchildren to see it\u2019s potential and to realize theirs.<\/p>\n

Personally, I have no regrets, and I am both thankful and humbled that you voted for me as your representative in\u00a0Sacramento.\u00a0I just spoke with Tasha and congratulate her on retaining her seat and hope that she recognizes the strengths I bring to the table as a former federal law enforcement agent and a current mental health therapist. I hope to build on what our campaign has begun and am open to working with my former opponent on legislation that reflects the needs of the district.<\/p>\n

While running as a Republican in California is typically seen as a \u201cdark horse\u201d I have faith in the future of this state. It is a great state: Let\u2019s make it GOLDEN again! The future is open, and it shall be what we make of it and while I do not know what tomorrow holds, I do know who holds tomorrow. Thank you for believing in me as your candidate.<\/p>\n

As always, be well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
