Dear Friends,
Thank you all for your support over the past several months leading up to this election. Without everyone's support and commitment I could not have made it this far. I will not name people, because there are too many and I will forget people.
Unfortunately, we were not able to spread our message as far as we wanted to. However, a clear impact was made. Without a final vote count, approximately one-fifth of those who came out to vote in the fifth-district said they wanted a change in the status-quo. Meanwhile over 80% of the registered voters chose not to come out and vote. This is because we could not get the message out.
At this point, I have not decided if I will be running again in 2015. I have several future endeavors that this campaign has encouraged me towards. Please let me know if you want me to run in 2015 or pursue some other direction. My account will remain open and accepting donations to prepare for 2015 or whatever may come.
Again, thank you all for your support and with a growing commitment we can reverse voter apathy and send a stronger message in the future.
Sincerely,
Ari Winokur
