having run for a better GainesvilleThank you, supporters and voters. Your generous support allowed us to gain exposure for our message. As noted by many of you, we got my name, face and vision for Gainesville in the public consciousness.To our credit, we conducted a clean and civil campaign and articulated issues and solutions more clearly and completely than the other candidates in the race. We should take pride in that.As I stated in my post-election e-mail message to my supporters and in my concession speech, this immediately past campaign, my first, was mostly a positive experience for me, and I feel like I was born to campaign and participate in governance. For that reason, my running again for public office seems highly likely.I shall keep this site accessible to the public on the Internet for a while to allow people who have not yet seen the site to have a chance to learn about me and my vision for Gainesville. If you like what you see in this site, please send a link to it to your friends, associates and family members who are residents of Gainesville.For the foreseeable future, I shall continue to promote revitalization of my Near South Neighborhood, a neighborhood that has burst to new life with the openings of three new businesses in the past month. I shall also continue to pursue implementation of the governance objectives of my campaign, starting with my first objective: the establishment of an ethical and economical energy policy for Gainesville to include a thorough and public scrutiny of the biomass electric generating plant for which I have great misgivings. Please explore this Internet site and share with me your information, ideas, questions and concerns face-to-face, by e-mail or by telephone. I particularly recommend the first five sections after this home page. The last of those sections, the campaign highlights section, offers photo images with humorous captions that I am sure you would enjoy.Let us work together to realize a city that engages, sustains all of us and that offers a high quality of life to all of us, the residents of Gainesville.Sincerely,
