The results are in
Thanks to all who voted and supported my campaign, we managed to pull in a whopping 631 votes today. Alas, it was not enough to beat the Democrat, Willie, who pulled in 770 votes, but he did not win by much. And for a third-party candidate, with no major party backing, it is unheard of in our town.

To put it in perspective:
* We lost by a mere 139 votes.
* The Republican, Henry, only managed to pull 163 votes.
* We took 40.3% of the vote.
* The Dems managed 49.2% of the vote.
* We only lost by 8.9%.

So, while we may not have won, we did an incredible job and demonstrated to the town and the dominant political machine that WE WANT CHANGE. While I don't know what lies ahead, I do know that the movement we've started doesn't end here. I feel as though I have a few hundred new friends! Thank you for everything.
