From her blog…

How does one thank the near-infinite energy of so many supportive neighbors? I’m humbled by and grateful for all of it. As many know, I have a certain affinity for hands-on community volunteerism and have always believed that harnessing the power of neighbors working together can yield amazing results. This election only strengthens that conviction.

At the same time, I recognize that much energy and enthusiasm was invested on both sides of the District 2 race. Kyle and I have worked together on neighborhood projects before and in a way, we were working together here as well – getting at the heart of what’s truly on people’s minds.

Those issues really surface with a healthy dose of competition, and I thank Kyle for his commitment to both the district and the race. And to his supporters, I want to make clear that my intention is now, and has always been, to take the concerns of District 2 – all of them – to city hall.

I know many of you know both candidates personally and had a difficult choice to make. For those who supported my campaign, I say thank you. And to those who chose otherwise, I hope to earn your trust and confidence in the days ahead.

My door – or phone, or email, or text, or patch of sidewalk – is always open. As I said throughout the campaign, contact me any time. Call me at 770.364.9192 or email votepattigarrett@gmail.com.

Together we can do this!
