Well, all the votes have been counted and we now have the results. Congratulations to everyone that won their race.
I am sorry to say that Dean Chu fell 233 votes short of being reelected. Dean was a very hard working councilmember and served the city on many different committees in the city, county, state and was even recently appointed to a committee on the National League of Cities. When asked to serve on a committee he was always ready to say yes. He was a good friend and I am proud to say I served as his Vice Mayor. I was able to see first hand what a strong leader he was. Dean I wish you the best my friend but for now sit back and relax for awhile. Then I hope to see you back on the council as soon as possible. Take care my friend.
Now we must get on with business. We have a lot of things to work on and finish before 2011. We'll be heading down to New Orleans to attend the NLC conference and build a house or two then we'll come back to finish out the year and look forward starting a new year.
For all of those that supported me by your votes I thank you. If you were supporting my opponent you need to contact me to see if we can now move forward. I have always had an open door policy and I'll keep this blog going for awhile if you'd like to send a comment or two.
