​The people have spoken

Tonight, we made history. Tonight, the people have spoken—and your voices were heard loud and clear.

First and foremost, I want to thank every single person who cast their vote, who knocked on doors, who made phone calls, who believed in this campaign and what we stand for. This victory isn’t mine alone—it belongs to all of us.

To my family, my friends, and my incredible campaign team: thank you. Your support, your strength, and your unwavering belief in me kept me going—on the long days, on the tough days, and on the days when the odds felt stacked against us.
To my opponent, [opponent's name]: thank you for a hard-fought campaign. Though we may have disagreed on many things, I know we share a deep love for our community and a desire to see it thrive. I look forward to working together where we can, for the good of the people we both serve.

This election was never about one person. It was about all of us—our shared future, our common hopes, and our refusal to settle for the status quo. You believed that we could build something better. And now, we will.

But let me be clear: the work starts now.

We have schools to support, jobs to create, neighbourhoods to strengthen, and a future to shape. We will listen, we will act, and we will lead—not with arrogance, but with humility, compassion, and a commitment to justice and progress.

I promise to be a leader for everyone—whether you voted for me or not. Because democracy doesn’t end with an election. It begins anew. And I intend to carry forward your trust with honesty, transparency, and action.

So tonight, we celebrate. But tomorrow, we get to work—together.
​
Thank you. God bless you. And let’s move forward—united.
