Doubling Down on Support: My Journey to the November Ballot

Today marked a significant milestone in my journey towards serving our vibrant community of Eagle Point. This morning, I had the honor of submitting 102 signatures to officially get my name on the November ballot—an achievement that fills me with immense gratitude and excitement.

Securing these signatures wasn't just about meeting the necessary requirements; it was a profound demonstration of trust and support from you, the residents of Eagle Point. To put it in perspective, the required number of signatures was just 49, and with 102, we managed to double that amount, surpassing the submissions of the other three candidates.

This accomplishment speaks volumes about the collective desire for proactive, inclusive leadership that reflects our community's values and aspirations. Each signature represents a voice, a story, and a shared hope for the future. I am deeply moved by the encouragement and faith you have shown in my ability to represent our community effectively.

As we move forward, this milestone is just the beginning. The real work starts now, and I am ready to put in the effort, listen to your concerns, and push for the changes that will benefit all of us. Together, we can shape a future that honors our town’s heritage and unleashes its potential.

I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who signed, supported, and believed in this campaign. Your enthusiasm is the driving force behind this endeavor, and I am committed to making you proud.

Let's keep this momentum going as we approach the elections in November. I am excited to engage in meaningful dialogues, learn more about your visions for Eagle Point, and work together to achieve them.

Thank you, Eagle Point, for doubling down on your support. Let’s make it count!
