Together, we rejected the false choice that politics has to be a zero-sum game, and proved that we can solve our challenges with each other, not at the expense of each other. We showed that modern campaigns might be waged on digital media, but they're still won at the doors -- one conversation at a time.

To my family: Mom and Dad, Michelle and Alan, Craig and Dara, Matthew and Jessica: I am eternally grateful for your unwavering love and unrelenting support.

To our unrivaled local network of friends, family, and supporters who lift me up every day and powered this campaign.

To each of you who stepped up in so many ways to knock doors, make calls, host meet and greets, reach out to friends and neighbors that made all the difference.

To the tireless leader who orchestrated and executed this campaign, Johanna Berkson: there is no more loyal friend to have, no more dedicated person to lean on, and no more reliable partner to have by your side.

To our Deputy Campaign Manager, Bryan Estey, who oversaw an unprecedented volunteer-led ground game from Somerset to Kensington, Chevy Chase to Bethesda, Potomac to Poolesville.

You amaze me every day. You have my deepest gratitude. This outcome is yours.

To fellow candidates: Delegate Ana Sol Gutierrez, Reggie Oldak, Mayor Pete Fosselman, Meredith Wellington, Dalbin Osorio, Jim McGee and Bill Cook: congratulations on a hard-fought and substantive campaign. I've enjoyed the opportunity to discuss the challenges and opportunities facing our community, and hope this is just the beginning of our working together to address them.

We're only getting started, but please take some time today to appreciate what we accomplished together. Thank you for putting in the work to make this possible, and for everything you've done for me, and for our campaign.

On to November!

Andrew
