“All I ask is a square deal for every man. Give him a fair chance. Do not let him wrong any one, and do not let him be wronged.”

Theodore Roosevelt, 1904

Friends, 

Thank you for your unwavering support during my campaign. While we didn’t win the primary, I’m genuinely grateful for every vote, kind word, conversation, and act of encouragement you shared along the way.

I know campaigns are built by people—not slogans—and you showed up for this effort in meaningful ways. Because of you, I’m carrying forward the issues that matter to our community, and I’m not going anywhere.

Now, in the 2026 elections, please find candidates near you who will fight for all of us and support them. Democracy doesn’t begin or end with voting. It takes time, effort, volunteers, and funding.  We need the public to hear from those candidates who are not supported by corporate interests and show that they are supported by you!

If you’re willing, I’d love to stay in touch and continue to work together. Thanks again for standing with me, and for believing in what we can build—one step at a time.

With great gratitude,

Mike
