-Arik Samson

Reflecting on my first campaign, I feel proud of what we accomplished. This was a grassroots, low-budget effort that relied on extensive door-to-door outreach, support from non-profit media outlets, and zero involvement from any political machine.

Together, we reached 1,700 people —1,700 opportunities to discuss a platform I believe would benefit our district.

I am deeply grateful to this community for listening to my message, and to everyone who believed in me when casting their vote.

Thank You
