Thank you for supporting our campaign. I am honored and humbled that so many great people contributed their time, energy, and financial resources. There is absolutely no way we could have done what we did without the hundreds of contributors, volunteers, and supporters. It has been an absolute joy to work with the team that came together on this campaign, and I am deeply grateful to everyone.
The final results show that I will not be the next state representative from District 41, but they do show that we earned 40% of the vote, a great showing for a first time challenger against a 29-year incumbent.
From day one, we ran a campaign that reached across lines of difference, stayed true to our progressive principles, adhered to a grassroots strategy, and sought to give back more to the community than it took out. I am immensely proud of that and of all of the work that we did. I am certain that we ran the absolute best campaign we could.
It is my hope to use the momentum we have built to support other progressive candidates in the fall and to help build progressive electoral power long term. Moving forward, I will keep the campaign email list active, so if you are not currently on that list, you can sign up below.
Thank you for your support. It has meant a lot to me to have so many great people working on this campaign. To those of you thinking of running for office, I highly recommend it!
Sincerely,
Mike Slaton
