Dear friends,

I want to officially extend my sincerest congratulations to Patrick Hope for his well earned victory yesterday. I pledge to do my part to ensure his victory in November and for his success in Richmond as our Delegate. I also extend my congratulations to my fellow competitors Adam Parkhomenko, Alan Howze and Miles Grant for their tremendous work in presenting their case to the voters.

I want to give each and every one of my supporters my sincerest thanks for your help to my campaign. We presented our case to the voters on the issues that were important to us. We did it in a very organized and in a very dignified manner. I want to acknowledge the support we received from the four elected officials who endorsed my campaign, as well as Karen Darner, and for the tremendous work that they did. Thanks Walter, Chris, Libby, and Emma. I continue to get very positive comments about Chris Zimmerman’s outstanding letter on my behalf.

A special thanks to my campaign manager Chris Jones, who stepped up to bring structure and cohesiveness to our campaign. Words cannot express the tremendous work that he undertook. We also had some outstanding support from Thomas Mills, of Thomas Mills Communications, with crafting our message in our mailings in a very concise and effective presentation. A special note of thanks to Joel Yudken for serving as our campaign treasurer and who submitted our financial reports in order and on a timely basis, as well as for hosting our campaign meetings at his home.

Sincerely,
Andres
