When I went into this election I had one primary goal and a secondary goal.
My primary goal was to have my name recognised in the community and that goal I achieved. My secondary goal was to get elected. Unfortunately I didn't achieve the second goal so I have mixed emotions at this point. Make no mistake if I decide to run in the next election I will be better prepared and have a better idea of what I will have to do. There were a number of personal challenges that I faced in this election, whether it be the work that had to be done on my house, the several weekends I had to work or getting bronchitis in the final week or all the rain in September. I could have overcome these thing with better preparation.
I'd like to thank all the people who voted for me or sent emails or phone call of encouragement, but specifically I'd like to thank John McGrath and Shaun McLaughlin who put the time and energy into my campaign that turned an unknown commodity into someone who garnered 25% of the vote.
Thanks
