No, it wasn't the outcome I had wanted. However, there were silver linings in the results. In my hometown of Millis, I received 81% of the vote...a very nice bot of confidence from those who know me best. I also finished 2nd (3 person race) in a large majority of the towns.
Yet, the real benefit was the experience gained by running. It was great to meet people throughout the district and I gained a true understanding for what it is like to be a candidate. Like having a child, I don't think you can truly know how large a job it is (if done right) until you do it.
To that end, I want to thank my wife for supporting me in this endeavor. I also want to thank everyone who came out and voted Tuesday!
