Dear Schenectady,
On November 3, you made your voices heard, and I want to begin with two simple words: Thank you.
To the 8,734 residents who cast their votes for me, to the volunteers who knocked on doors, to the families who opened their homes, and to everyone who believed in what we could accomplish together, I am deeply grateful.
This victory represents more than the outcome of an election. It represents the trust of a community that believes Schenectady can be stronger, more accountable, and more responsive to the people who call it home.
But I also recognize that leadership isn't measured by the number of votes received. It's measured by what you do with the responsibility you've been given. Whether you voted for me or not, I intend to serve you with the same commitment, respect, and determination.
The campaign may be over, but the real work is just beginning.
