I would like to thank all of the citizens in the great city of Pendleton that supported me during my campaign for city council. I appreciate the people who wrote letters of support and those who reached out to me in support of my campaign. This entire process has been a great learning experience and the knowledge I have gained will be put to use in future endeavors.
