First of all, I would like to congratulate Denise Athas and Pat Eklund for their victories. They each ran great campaigns and I know first hand how much work goes into the process. I especially want to thank all of my supporters who there for me every step of the way. We got very close this year, but in the end it looks like I was just a few hundred votes short.
This is going to be a tough year for Novato and I encourage all residents to get involved as difficult decisions are made. More than ever before, we need to work together as a community through this budget process.
Although coming so close was difficult, I can only be encouraged by the results and I know that this is just the beginning. The discussions I shared in and friends I made while campaigning have been extremely valuable and I wouldn’t trade the experience for anything.
Finally, I want to thank my wife Kiley who encouraged me throughout the race. I couldn’t have done it without you!
After several months of campaigning, November 3rd is finally here. Make sure you vote today if you haven’t already sent in an absentee ballot. Also, please remind all of your Novato friends, neighbors, and co-workers to vote as well.
The polls will close at 8pm and you can follow the results at www.marinvotes.org after that.
With the help of Rick Tucker and Novato Public Access, I put together a little video for my campaign. Check it out below or occasionally on NPAT (Comcast channel 26).
Close to 40 people joined with me today to canvas neighborhoods, speak to residents, and distribute door hangers all throughout Novato. I have to thank all of the supporters who came out to participate and walk. I hope everyone enjoyed the BBQ as well as the exercise. We truly live in an incredible community where friends, colleagues, and neighbors all get involved in local elections. Thank you for your support!
You have probably started seeing my campaign signs pop up all over Novato and I still have a few more to add. I have to give an extra special thanks to my dad (John Lucan) and Wes Carter for giving me a hand with putting them up. Also, thank you to Jim Grossi and West Bay Builders for letting me borrow some stakes and my neighbor Fred for the post driver.
It was great to see everyone out today at the 4th of July Parade in Novato. Thank you for all of your support and cheers! Also, a special thanks to Rex for driving us in his 1964 T-bird which happens to be for sale if you are interested.
Come join me this weekend, June 13 & 14, at the Novato Festival of Art, Wine, & Music. My booth will be located between 2nd and 3rd street on Grant Avenue. I will be speaking with residents and passing out balloons to kids. Individuals will also be able to register to vote. I hope to see you there!
