 First of all, I want to thank each and every one of you for your support, a pre-K for SA, a great investment in the children. I'm excited tonight. It's great to see so many folks out here. Let me just say right away that we're not going to declare victory right now, because we only have the early vote, and I think it's 87 or so votes apart. We're going to wait for the election day vote to come in before we declare victory. But I do think that it's looking very good, and I think San Antonians have made the right decision tonight. I wanted to begin by thanking everyone who's been a part of this campaign. And let me recognize, of course, our council representative, Councilman Ray Saldana and Councilman D.A. McDonough. And the councilman who actually was on the Break Power Task Force and the chair of the Education Excellence Committee, Councilman Ray Lopez. This was a great effort because it had so many folks, a cross-section of San Antonians supporting it, including all of our former mayors. And so I want us to give a big round of applause to all of our former mayors. Thank you, Mayor Conkerl. I think hanging out with Mayor Conkerl on election night means that you won the election. So I'm going to try and do it as much as I can. I also want to thank all of the folks who served on the Break Power Committee Task Force, and I especially want to thank Charles Button and Joe Robles, who co-chair of the effort that gave us this campaign. They did a great job, and it was because they helped construct a great proposal that I believe the voters by the end of the night will have said yes to it. I want to thank all of the business groups. I know some of them are represented here tonight from USAA, HEB, Toyota, Valero, Newstar, the Spurs, Rackspace. Rackspace is here in the crowd. Let's thank Rackspace. I want to thank all of the chambers of commerce. We had seven, the seven largest chambers of commerce. And I know I saw Richard Bennett, Richard's here somewhere. Let's thank Richard in the greater chamber. Yvonne, Dr. Yvonne Cass in the women's chamber. We're open to having you here tonight. The Alamo Colleges did a great resolution in support of pre-K education. I also want to thank the school districts who supported us. SAASD in Hurlendale. I know Patty Radle is here. Thank you to Patty and all of the trustees. All of the folks who worked in my office and on the campaign trail for this initiative, I want to begin by thanking Gene Russell, who is here. When I got into office, I said that I thought we needed to do three things to make San Antonio an even greater city. That we need to ensure that we invest in young people so that they can create a great power community. That we need to attract 21st century jobs to San Antonio. And that we need to make San Antonio the most livable city in the United States. And Gene was the one that pushed us to make sure that we lived up to the promise on education. So thank you very much Gene. Before I forget, I'm going to recognize the other campaign staff and office staff. But I also wanted to especially recognize the folks from COPS Metro Alliance. Because they're here. It was fashionable to link human development with economic development. It was COPS Metro that had it right. They were ahead of their time and in the late 90s they took up to the legislature what they called the Better Jobs Act. The ability for a city to invest in its human capital. And this is the fruition of that. It took a little bit of time but it was still the right thing to do. So thank you for the vision and the hard work of COPS Metro Alliance. Thank y'all very much. And Francis Gonzalez and Sarah McClorton. I know that they're here. Thank y'all for the great work that y'all have done. I want to recognize my hybrid staff for these days. My chief of staff who was on leave. Robbie Greenby. To recognize of course our campaign, our fearless campaign manager, Christian Archer. Because of his hard work. Matthew Schwigger and others who helped out. I want to recognize Frank Burney who was a great component. KGB Texas. Jeff Coel and Katie Harvey. Thank y'all for the media everybody. They did a fantastic job. It's one of the good job ones. We're also back here. Fantastic job getting out there and communicating. Where's the way? There it is. We're policy makers. But the ones who are charged with carrying out the day-to-day operations of the city of course are the city manager and her staff. And we have the greatest city manager in the United States. And she turned that with her staff into a workable proposal for the voters to consider. And it was because of her hard work and the hard work of our education coordinator Rebecca Flores. So thank you very much. Peter Zinoni, if he's here tonight, I'm not sure he's here. Not a sleepless night. Have I missed anybody? I don't want to miss anybody. I've introduced the whole room. All right. Well, of course, we're very, we're cautiously optimistic. We like the early vote. We believe that the gap is going to widen in our favor on election day. And let me say that tonight is a very special night for me. I want to thank my wife Erica. Because as all of y'all know, all of us have a family way in working on something that there's a price that is paid for that. And I really want to thank my beautiful wife and my lovely daughter for putting up with it. Always feel the show. So this is a very special night for all of us because tonight my brother was elected to the United States Congress, went up to D.C. And in a few moments, I'm actually going to leave to go introduce him. And as y'all can understand, that's very meaningful for me to join my mother and my brother and my dad. But before I do go, I want to say that I believe that we're going to win. Today, San Antonio said very clearly that we're not just thinking about the next two years. We're thinking about the next 20 years. And that we know that in order for San Antonio to be a successful, competitive 21st century city, that we have to invest in people. We need to ensure that we create brain power in our community. Those communities that create it will be those that thrive and those that don't will fall behind. And San Antonio is sending a message to every city in the United States and the world that it means business when it comes to economic prosperity by investing in our young people. Is that we will create a generation of San Antonians from north to south, east and west, who are well educated, who are ready to take on the 21st century. That as a city, we will take a backseat to no one when it comes to educating our young people. That each and every child needs to be blessed with a great education. They deserve it. And if they work hard, we're going to work hard for them. And today was about creating opportunity. All of us are going to be the better for it. Tonight we came together as one San Antonio that has one destiny that says we're going to be great, we're going to be excellent, and we're going to do it by investing in the youngest among us. Thank you.
