It has been an honor to serve our community as your Mayor for the last four years and I am eternally grateful for the trust you have placed in me to lead our city. I look forward to all of the things we are going to accomplish in the next four years. Now, let’s get back to work.
When I was in middle school I was elected "Mayor for a Day.”
A lot has changed since then, but it has been the honor of a lifetime to serve as your Mayor (for real this time) for the last four years & I hope you’ll allow me to serve four more.
The polls are still open; go vote!
Today is THE DAY! Our family went to our polling place together this morning! Thank you to the poll workers and all those who make these elections possible. If you have not voted yet, please make an effort to cast your vote! Every vote counts! Polls are open until 7pm today.
I’m proud of our work cleaning up City Hall, creating thousands of good high-paying jobs, protecting the environment, and fighting for equality.
But I know our work isn’t done.
So I’m asking for your vote.
And after you vote tomorrow, join us for our Election Night Party.
