12/13/2010 - Finally, the election is over! Mr. Buckley conceded and ended the recount of what was one of the closest Lake Elsinore City Council elections ever. Congratulations to all the candidates and especially to Daryl Hickman and Brian Tisdale, who will serve as our councilme for the next term.

I want to thank everyone who supported my campaign. To lose by only 50 votes out of nearly 13000 cast is tough but demonstrates that our message resonates with a great deal of voters. In precincts that we actively campaigned we finished 1st & 2nd. Unfortunately, a lack of funding muted our message in a few key areas of Lake Elsinore.

I promise to continue to work for the city's benefit and look forward to laying the groundwork for my friends & family to join in that effort. Whether we clean up these streets, bring in more businesses with jobs for our residents, or point to ways to save taxpayer dollars, together we can make Lake Elsinore THE premier community in the Inland Valley and beyond.

I thank you all sincerely.
