San Mateo County Voters:
Reflecting back, I would like to thank all who supported my campaign. For some, it was simply using your ballot and voting. For others, it was truly going the extra mile and making a personal sacrifice, taking time away from your family, your friends, and in some cases, your business. You know who you are and I greatly appreciate all of your efforts on my behalf.
I write, "on my behalf," but we all know, the issues of the campaign were what we considered most important. And we were not alone. I can tell you, many third party individuals have come forward this past week and said how much they appreciated the boldness and willingness of our campaign to address the matters most critical to the county. In that vein, and looking forward, I have already accepted interviews with radio stations and blog sites. As opportunities become available to talk about the critical issues facing San Mateo County, I will accept them.
During the campaign, I sometimes harkened back to my wrestling days. Borrowing again from the sport, keep in mind that losing one match does not end a career. I will be staying involved from my position on the city council and in other ways that become available, as mentioned above. I hope you will too. It is the only way for "government of the people, by the people and for the people" to work as intended.
All the best,
-Matt Grocott
