I would like to take this opportunity to once again say thank you. From the bottom of my heart there is no one more grateful than I am for the support and unending generosity each of you shown my family and I during the last 2 years. I am very touched by the same support and love that continues to be expressed by cards, letters and phone calls.
Yes, defeat is disappointing. However, I have no regrets about the campaign I ran. We stood together - encouraged, hopeful and tolerant, supporting the conservative values I have spent my life fighting to uphold. Elections may come and go but it is my friends that I hold dear.
Although this is a time of transition and change, the responsibility to our great community is never ending. So, in the future, that is where you're most likely to find me; working to ensure that the best interests of District 101 and her constituents continue to be heard, respected and valued.
It has been my greatest honor to serve you. Mary and I thank you for your love, support and prayers. May God bless you and your family, and may God continue to bless Texas.
