i couldn't have made it this far without assemblywoman fiona moss. she has been a great friend to me. [applause] fiona has offered incredible support during the campaign, and i am very humbled and grateful for her sage counsel and guidance. i'd like to acknowledge -- this is a good one. i'd like to acknowledge all of the many candidates who ran in district 10. for all of you that are in this room, you know that was a heck of a race. and i want each of the candidates to know that i welcome their help and i will continue to seek their energy and involvement as i serve. and although the campaign is over, the conversation still continues. and i look forward to keeping that dialogue going. and i have a challenge for every single resident of the southeast sector of the city. that we must remain engaged and heard in the democratic process, whether you're from potrero hill, bayview, silver terrace, whether you live in public housing, or you own your own home, whether you're white, black, latino, or asian, we all collectively must stay engaged in this process
