Well, now that Super Tuesday is done, I want to
say that I am grateful.
I am very grateful.
Well, guys, this was a really tough three-way primary with
each of us having very different personalities and different campaign
strategies.
I used every method of outreach that I knew of,
from uh literature dropping to phone calling to block walking,
etc.
So I think being in Denton County Democratic Party precinct
should help me out quite a bit because uh this
stuff was not new to me.
I didn't need to learn anything anything on the spot.
Blocking walking was not awkward.
And I also think that my experience working with government
gave me a unique political advantage.
Not enough to cross the 50% threshold, but then again,
that's a really tall order to ask in a three- way
primary.
That said, I know the race is not yet over.
I know that my next phase in this process will
be a runoff.
Uh it's not gonna be easy, but it's something that
I look forward to.
That said, I want to thank Matthew McGee for running.
He ran an interesting race.
He tried some different things that a lot of us
don't uh always necessarily try, but it was interesting to
see where he gained and where he did not gain
with that particular uh campaign strategy.
Also, going forward, I do want to say that I
do have one regret.
My one regret is not having enough time to spend
with my opponent, Michael Braxton.
My hope is that going forward, that Michael Braxton and
I can be more present together at the same time
at uh candidate events because I believe that our constituents
should be given the opportunity to see us both at
the same time on the stage so our constituents can
compare uh the two of us before this runoff and
figure out which of the two of us is the
best best fit for advocating for the Democratic side for
SD-30.
That said, I will be reaching out to you guys
and advocating for you all to come out to the
runoff election coming up in mid-May.
Thank you for your time.
