Friends,
I just learned that I lost the City Council election to the two-term incumbent. I have congratulated her and wished for her success. Although disappointed, I am hugely indebted to the tremendous support I got from my campaign team, friends, family members, neighbors, and other community members across Round Rock. You all believed in me and inspired me all along!
Special thanks to Amin Salahuddin, my campaign manager, for his mentorship and being a role model for me and to help navigate the election process. I would also like to thank my wife, Rabeya Khatun, who campaigned tirelessly for the last 2 months; Of course, kudos to my other campaign team members - Helen Finke, Mike Lombardo, Debbie Juhlke, Rubayat Khan, Abdullah Maruf, Mukit Samad, Zahed Aziz, Mamun Rahman, Munir Faisal Chowdhury - for their efforts and hard work, encouragement and optimism.
Our momentum will continue in terms of getting others involved with City Council, local School Boards, and other non-profit boards. My spirit for volunteering for the Round Rock community members will move forward with a renewed energy.
Thank you all and may God bless America!
