As of this moment, the returns are very humbling. They have held pretty consistently near 64% of the vote in our favor. If things continue this way it looks like it will be a victory.
I just wanted to take this time to thank all of you who supported and voted for me.
I also want to thank C. Edward Mack for being such a gracious and honorable person. It's been a pleasure to know Mr. Mack for the last 16 years, and I am honored to be able to call him my friend. Although I am very grateful for this win, I truly wish that it wasn't against Mr. Mack.
Again, thank you for all your support.
And a special thank you to my wife, my parents, my in-laws, my friends and banker Julie & Charles Moore, and all those who endorsed my candidacy - particularly Mr. Steve Cooley who's unwaivering support and assistance was greatly appreciated.
