Winners in Historic Election
Late last night I spoke to 100 supporters waiting for complete election news at Bessie Smith Hall. Many with tears but all with smiles, they greeted me as their winner. Yet you and they are the real winners for standing up for schools, jobs, and accountability.
Everyone had many hopes riding on this race, and those hopes have begun to be realized. They will not fade because of a declared victory one way or the other.
For now, I am seeking clarification concerning the election count and will post as soon as possible the complete outcome of this race. Pursuing clarification does not assume any impropriety or fault. This pursuit is a matter of being accountable to the voters.
Whatever the result, the voters did make clear in this historically tight race that they want more attention placed on schools, jobs, and accountability. And we have all of you to thank for that.
Dinah and I will continue to work hard for our community and commit our efforts to bringing more to bear on education, jobs, and accountability. We will continue to fight for children and seniors.
We have been blessed beyond measure to be a part of this election and to have worked with so many passionate people. Thank you all.

John & Dinah,
After an exhausting 15-hour day at the polls, we went home, turned on the TV, and saw the close vote.
We're sorry we didn't have enough energy left to join your other supporters in person and greet you as our winner.
Best wishes,
Carole & Joe Blass
