I want to take a moment to publicly thank a few people who have stood beside me since day one of this campaign journey.

First and foremost — Jessica Dowler. You are an absolute icon. From the very moment I said I was going to give politics a go, you never hesitated. You didn’t question it. You didn’t doubt it. You stood beside me, believed in me, and helped me push forward even on the hard days.

Campaigning isn’t easy. Putting yourself out there isn’t easy. But having someone in your corner who truly believes in you makes all the difference.

Jessica, thank you for your loyalty, your strength, your honesty, and your constant support. I see you. I appreciate you. And I couldn’t do this without you.

More gratitude posts coming soon — because this campaign isn’t just about me. It’s about the people who believe in change and are willing to stand up for it.
