Thank you, Perth.

This campaign was certainly an unforgettable experience, and I have so much to be grateful for.

To my campaign team, thank you for the countless hours, the hard work, the planning, and for believing in me and this campaign. I couldn’t have done this without you.

To my family and friends, thank you for your patience, your encouragement, and for standing beside me through the highs and lows. You saw everything that went into this journey. I couldn’t have gotten through this without you all.

And to every single person who opened their door to me, stopped to have a conversation, sent an encouraging message, or cast a vote for me: thank you. Your support means more than you’ll ever know, and I don’t take it for granted.

While the outcome wasn’t exactly what I’d hoped for, and I am slightly disappointed, I am also incredibly grateful for the experience, the people I’ve met, and the conversations we’ve had along the way.

I’d also like to congratulate everyone who was elected and thank all the candidates who put their names forward. It takes a lot of courage to put yourself out there, and I wish our new Council well as they take on the work ahead.

This community will always mean so much to me. So, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for being part of this journey. Thank you for your trust, your kindness, and your support.

Thank you, Perth.
