Unfortunately, I lost the preliminary election on Tuesday night. I'm so grateful to all my friends, family, and neighbors for supporting me throughout my campaign. I really loved having the chance to connect more deeply with residents across Ward 2. I will continue to advocate for you. I remain rooted in service to my community.
Congratulations to Bill and Andrew for their preliminary election wins. Salem has some big challenges ahead and I hope both candidates are prepared to be communicative and open minded listeners while bringing creative solutions to the fore.
I will be supporting Andrew Smith in the weeks ahead and I strongly encourage my supporters to do the same. Andrew's vision for a more affordable, safe, climate resilient Salem aligns with my own. Andrew has shown a keen interest in connecting with residents across the ward. He is a leader we would be lucky to have in Salem.
I plan to keep this website and campaign social media profiles active and updating with information about the City Council, other candidates, and more information Salem residents may find useful.
Thank you all, again, for an incredible experience. Let's keep Salem moving forward.
