Words cannot express my appreciation for the hard work, the contributions, and the gracious support so many family members, friends and strangers have extended to me over the past 13 months. With 55.96% of the vote, there will not be a run-off and our campaign has concluded. I am honored and look forward to serving as a Hillsborough County Court Judge.
Thank you so very much for voting, for all of the kind words and encouragement, for spreading the word, placing signs, waving signs in the heat and everything everyone did to help get me elected.
My parents, sister, brother, many cousins and friends spent many hours to help me achieve this goal. I am going to work on personally thanking everyone I can reach. I have to extend a tremendous thanks to my husband. Jonathan is the most amazing man and he was the lead brain, director, man power, and champion throughout this process.
I am overwhelmed and extremely grateful for everything. Again, my thanks and love to all!!
