This is really an occassion for thank-yous. And I am so grateful.

To my family, who has always been there for me—Denzil Paul and Jajuan Stewart—thank you so very much. Jajuan is in the military: We miss you!

Thanks to the voters of Brockton for your confidence. I will never let you down. I will always work to make you proud. I will be your voice—always!

We also received many generous donations from Brocktonians and supporters from across the country. Thanks to you, we raised more money than any other candidate in the race for City Council.

To the many volunteers, thank you for all the sweat equity that made this victory possible.

Thank you to my “brain trust,” the team that provided campaign, communications, fundraising, and voter outreach strategy and support—with special thanks to my Committee Chair, Darrell Wright:

• Darrell Wright
• Earnest Offley
• Janice Johnson-Plumer
• Lara Thomas
• Loic Assobmo
• Marcus Wyatt
• Nick Fernandes
• Noel Corbin
• Stanley Jean-Noel

And to all the volunteers who contributed countless hours powering our campaign—making phone calls, addressing mailings, holding signs, taking voters to the polls, producing videos, and all the other non-glamorous work that makes a campaign work—a very big thank you, as well!

I also want to thank Jeano and Berlange Jean, the owners of Jeano’s Restaurant, for allowing us to celebrate this important victory as you celebrate your 25th wedding anniversary! WOW!

To David and Detra Offutt, owners of Equity Realty, thank you for your hospitality as we campaigned out of one of your basement offices. We may not want to leave!

To Chris Charlot of Tamboo’s and Charlie Tartaglia of George’s Café, thanks a lot for hosting our various fundraisers this year.

And last, but certainly not least, thanks to all the candidates in all the races who displayed a genuine love of our city, and placed their names on the ballot.

As your City Councilor at Large, I’ve worked with conviction and acted with courage because I believe in you. Thank you for believing in me!

With regards,

Jass
