Greetings West Side Democrats!

We did it. We did it! WE DID IT!!! Last week was without a doubt the longest year of my life. But on Saturday we accomplished what we wanted to do since the nightmare began: we sent Donald Trump packing! There was a lot of emotions for me on Saturday… I cried as I told my daughters the news. Character was on the ballot and character won. America won.

We also were able to bring a blue wave to our West Side Community. Special congratulations to our new West Side legislators: Katy Duhigg and Harold Pope, Jr. Both candidates ran fantastic races and it certainly paid off. We also will be sending quite a few legislators back to the roundhouse. Truly good work to those candidates.

But for this message, I just wanted to say: thank you! These results would not have been possible without all the wonderful work you’ve done here. Phone banking. Literature Drops. Donations. Letter writing. Simply awesome work Westsides! We got a lot of good democrats elected and we would not have been able to do it without you.

Just as the election brought a collective sigh of relief, it also brought a lot of questions. Where are we going as a party? What do we need to push for now? How can we bring dissatisfied voters back into the democratic tent? So many questions. But that’s a discussion for another day. For now, let’s just enjoy this win.

You’ve earned it.
