To the editor:

Thank-you to the great people of Cape Coral!

A victory in this primary election means that the work has only just begun.

To me personally it’s a mandate to work harder in the general election for our city and for each and every one of you.

This election is about a clear choice — a choice about what kind of future we want to see for Cape Coral. The results of this primary election showed Cape Coral’s choice is to keep moving forward — and I am honored by the trust being placed in me to continue this fight.

But, now, it is time to turn the page. And together, in this election we’ve kickstarted an unprecedented amount of equitable community input in every neighborhood.

I’m in this election because I’m committed to the work because I love this city and I love its people.

And that will never falter.

Thank you for believing in our vision.

Thank you for having hope and optimism about our city.

I want to thank my team for their tremendous talent, drive, and belief in me.

Most of all, thank you to my loving and supportive family.

Winning elections is never the goal — completing the work and serving is.

Thank you and God’s Best to Cape Coral.
