 grateful for the opportunity to have been part of this journey and to have all of you with me on it. First and foremost, I would like to congratulate Representative Emma Mulvaney-Stanek. I value and respect the ideas that Emma brought to the table, the camaraderie that we've maintained through difficult debates, and her love and commitment for Burlington. I look forward to continuing to work with Emma to advance the many areas where we have agreement and to address the issues we face as a city. I talked with Emma earlier tonight. We had a great conversation. She was so gracious, and I look forward to continuing to work with Emma. As you know, the mantra for this campaign has been all hands on deck, and I wasn't sure if it was going to stick when I announced my candidacy a hundred and twenty-four days ago, but each and every day since then, all of you here tonight and so many more showed up to make the all hands on deck idea a reality. Our commitment is not just to the campaign, but to moving Burlington forward. So let's offer all our all hands on deck to Emma. Big section in here to congratulate all of the city council candidates that Adam just so graciously did. But I'm so grateful to serve with so many wonderful Democrats and to have the new Democrats on board who who really are going to bring new skills and new perspectives to the table all for the benefit of Burlington. And I thank you all for stepping up. I want to take a few minutes to call out just some of the people who were by my side during this journey. I could not have done this without my team who worked themselves to the bone every day. First of all, I want to recognize my campaign manager, Hannah King, campaign team. We want a majority on the city council among that intervention team, a quad partisan group of people who over a long course of time persuaded me to take on the job of mayor. And they wouldn't take no for an answer. They had a hand in everything that happened from from before the launch right up to today. Thank you to Dave Hardnet, to Kurt Wright, Jane Nodell and Mark Barlow did an amazing job and brought so much energy to our work. I want to thank Caroline Williams, Tucker Lake and Andrew Blampen. Just a few of the interns who went above and beyond. Thank you to my fundraising team who helped us make fundraising history. Pat Robbins, Dan Feeney, Owen Milne, Betsy Lylee and James Unsworth. Payne to all of you who made the phone knocking who wrote on from porch forum. We also had so many incredible events to engage voters throughout the campaign and thank you to those who helped to plan and host those events including Kevin Garrison Jr, Amy and Dan Feeney, Kathy and Tony Stamper, Alganich Michael and Abby Umby, Mulu Tuelde, Judy and George Russell, Burjit Bozak, Jareen and Chip Hart, Tegan Hart, Alan Birkey, Katie Lesser, Michelle Ash, Kitty Bartlett, Bob Keirnan. Thank you all. Payne made over 50,000 contact attempts through phone banking, doorknobking and text banking and more than 100 volunteers helped make that possible. There are too many to thank but I want to just name a special few who who really were just showing up in so many different ways. Tiki Arshambo, Dave Marr, Pat and Terry Rivers, Morton and Nareed Zachter, Daryl Fields, Suzanne Hebler, Leanne Smith, Margaret Chiquetti, Algo Bay, Eileen Blackwood, Mike Shirling, Brian Lowe. Thank you all. I forgot to mention all of you who are out there pulling down stickers. I'm sure. Moreau, thank you for your 12 years of service to Burlington and thank you for your support during this campaign. You have accomplished so much to sedate our ship here in Burlington. We all owe you a great gratitude. Let's hear from her up, especially my husband. While tonight is not what we hoped, let us not lose sight of the progress we have made and the values we hold dear. Our campaign was built on a foundation of hope and a belief in the power of community and those values will continue to guide me and all of us. As we move forward from this moment, let us remember building a better Burlington requires all of us to continue to buy in to local governance, lend a hand where we can and keep the movement that we saw through the all hands on deck mantra going. My promise tonight is that I will remain committed to this work and to being a voice for positive change in our city and thank you all for being here with us tonight.
