Friends and supporters,

I am filled with immense gratitude for the tremendous amount of support I've received throughout this campaign as your candidate for the Massachusetts State Representative seat. It has been a truly remarkable experience, and I have cherished every moment of it.

I want to extend my heartfelt congratulations to Mark Sylvia on his victory. We ran a respectful race, bringing to light many concerns and issues vital to our community. I am confident that Mark will do great things for the South Coast, and I look forward to seeing the positive impact he will have.

To my family and friends, your overwhelming support and encouragement have been invaluable. I am deeply grateful for your confidence in me. A special thank you goes to my incredible campaign team for their dedication and effort. Together, we have accomplished so much.

Throughout this campaign, I have been blessed to meet so many wonderful people across the South Coast and surrounding communities. I am proud to be a part of such an area filled with great individuals.

To the nearly 12,000 voters who placed their trust in me and our message for positive change, thank you. While we did not achieve the outcome we hoped for, I feel a sense of accomplishment. We have raised significant awareness on crucial issues affecting our daily lives, and I promise to continue advocating for positive change.

Thank you all once more for your support and belief in our shared vision and message.

Thank you,
