Dear Friends,
We knocked on countless doors, made tens of thousands of phone calls, sent nearly 100,000 emails, distributed thousands of flyers, sent over 125,000 text messages, and posted 300 yard signs all across District 4 of San Jose, California.
How was this all made possible? Because of you. When we reached out for help, you stepped up. We have enormous appreciation for all of you who generously donated and volunteered. Your support means the world to us.
In the weeks leading up to the election, households in the district were bombarded with scores of mailers about the other candidates in the race. Each mailer had a price tag in the five figure range. We put in a hard fight with the resources we had to counter the mailers and persuade voters in a district of nearly 100,000 residents, but we were ultimately unable to make the runoff that will take place in November.
It is not unusual for a candidate to fall short in the initial attempt. Abraham Lincoln ran for Senate twice and was unsuccessful each time. Barack Obama lost his first race for Congress. Ro Khanna ran for Congress three times before winning a seat.
This is just the beginning. We will return to the arena. We will make our voices heard, and one day, a member of our community will be elected to public office, God-willing. That day will come sooner than we think.
Kind regards,
Jamal
