For the last 12 months, I have had the privilege to meet and work with some great people on a campaign to help move District 27 and our state forward.

I will not forget the wonderful people I met while campaigning and great volunteers who gave their time, contributions, and faith to my candidacy. I wish the outcome could be different, but as the saying goes: When one gets knocked down, one gets back up and keeps on going.

A defeat is only a defeat if you let it stop you. I will not let the primary election results stop me. Although I will not be one of our nominees for District 27 State Representative, I will continue to fight for those I have met on the campaign trail to Move Arizona Forward.

I offer my congratulations and support to Dr. Macario Saldate and Mrs. Sally Ann Gonzales, and I ask you to join me in supporting their campaigns for State Representatives for the November 2nd election in helping to Move Arizona Forward in a better direction.

Special thanks go to a great team that supported me every step of the way. Thanks to my campaign chairman, Adelita Grijalva, Sol Gomez, Doralina Skidmore, Josie and Bea Medina, and my campaign treasurer, Barbara Wright.

I am truly grateful and humbled by your support and love and I thank you again for your support.
