Thank you, #RichmondCentre, for your trust. Whether or not you voted for me, I will work for you.
Congratulations to @HenryYaoRMD, Calvin Dang and Lawrence Chen on your campaigns. Putting your name forward takes courage. It was a respectful race about issues, and I thank you for that.
We may differ on how to get there, but most of us want the same things: safe streets, healthcare that works, strong schools and community centres, and tax dollars spent wisely.
To our volunteers: this win belongs to you.
Now, to work. Be my eyes and ears on the ground, and I will bring your voice to Victoria.

"The resurrection of this movement didn't happen overnight." β @AaronGunn
Aaron's Common Sense movement got @AngeloIsidorou, @AishaEstey27, @HarmanBhanguBC and me involved. Now we have a majority. Among everyone who was there at the start, Aaron's name belongs first.

Staying active is one of the best investments I make, and I enjoy every run, lift and badminton game along the way.
Prevention pays, in health, addiction and community. The cheapest problem to fix is the one that never happens.
