To our candidates including Harris-Walz for President and Vice President, Minita Sanghvi for State Senate, Joe Seeman for Assembly and Michele Madigan for County Treasurer, who fought the good fight but did not prevail. To Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, Congressman Paul Tonko and Assemblywoman Carrie Woerner who won the privilege to continue their service. To the countless volunteers who marched, carried signs, knocked on doors, made phone calls, wrote post cards and contributed much needed dollars. To the tireless workers at the Board of Elections and at the many election sites throughout the county. And to us—the voters—who protected our rights with the passage of Prop One. We can hold our heads high.
