While we did not win a Trustee seat (10th place out of 17) we made many new friends, learned a lot, and gained a new appreciation for the Albany Public Library and the Friends of the APL.
Many thanks to all those who voted for me, signed my petition, carried my petition and encouraged me to run.
I had a great time and of course I will continue my involvement with APL issues and other community matters in the City of Albany. Congratulations to those four who were elected and also congratulations to all the others on the ballot.
Many, many thanks to my GOTV crew: Eileen, Anne, Leora and Brandon and to all the many family, friends and supporters who assisted me throughout the campaign. The unofficial canvas by the school district is:

I'm with the Friends of the APL, and I was SHOCKED by the number of peiople who ran. I ended up voting for you because I saw your name out there more than most, FWIW.
congrats on getting on the Board
