We did it! With your help we received 56.71% of the vote to overcome 3 opponents and win the election in the June primary. In fact, to date, we have won 145 out of 146 precincts in the district. My deepest thanks goes out to all of my supporters who phoned, walked precincts, sent in checks, put up lawn signs and provided the strong organization to make this win possible. We could not have done it without you.
In the end, we outworked our opponents; we phoned over 35,000 voters, walked and dropped over 6,000 pieces of literature, attended over 40 endorsement meetings and forums and raised over $160K in a 4 month period of time. My special thanks to UNIFI for lending us their offices during and giving our campaign a home. Also a special thanks to the Labor Council and SEIU/UHW for providing phoning facilities and callers.
The entire campaign team – Mike, Alex, Tyler, Jason, Debbie, Edie, Mari and the Tramutola team – is thrilled to have worked with all of you on this winning endeavor.
Also, a special thanks to all my donors who generous gave to make the campaign possible and those who sponsored fundraising events. While I still have a debt to resolve, I was able to pay all of my immediate bills. We are currently planning a victory fundraiser in July to close the gap.
Since the election, I have received numerous phone calls regarding issues in the District and the County. I am happy to hear from you, but will not be taking office until January 2011. In the meantime, please keep me informed and for immediate assistance, please contact Supervisor Lai-Bitker’s office at 510-272-6693. I will be maintaining this website and my campaign telephone number _______________.
I will be using the next 6 months to catch up on my work and family, prepare for taking office and helping other candidates in the November election.. I am particularly interested in the current state budget and the proposals to shift more services to County government, healthcare reform implementation, and local issues of concern to my district.
Again, thank you all for your support and I truly look forward to working with you.
