It's Wednesday, March 7, and voters in the 6th Ward have spoken. While I am disappointed with the result, I respect the decision and wish Kacie Starr Triplett the best as the new alderwoman. I will remain active in and dedicated to my neighborhood and the city at large and look forward to working with Kacie on challenges in our community. While this election did not go as I'd hoped, I do not regret my decision to run. I was motivated by my passion for our city and the exciting prospects of the 6th Ward. I want to express my thanks to everyone who helped me in this endeavor. Whether you worked directly on my campaign, gave me money or fundraisers, invited me in on frosty door-to-door days, introduced me to your friends and neighbors, wrote/emailed/blogged nice things about me and, finally, voted for me or all of the above and more, thank you for everything. This experience and the people I worked with, met on the trail and ran against all in their own ways showed me the best parts of living in an exciting urban environment.
