I came is second.
I want to genuinely thank everyone who voted for me. I want to thank both Brad and Dan. I want to thank the members of the 6th District.
Not all is lost though, I was elected as Anoka County Vice Chair, so I will still be on the 6th District Committee.
All in all, I can’t be disappointed. I tried. I overcame a nasty attack. I didn’t back down. I did win people’s support for my ideas. That means as much as winning would have.
And I look forward to working with the new Committee in the 6th to helping Rep. Bachmann, Sen. Coleman, and all our legislative candidate and their BPOUs.
So thank you to everyone again.
Andy

Andy, Teddy Roosevelt would say you are in the arena:
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” “The Man In The Arena”, April 23, 1910
You’re in good company - there is no shame in trying.

Don’t feel bad Andy - you’ll retain your superstar status and do better next time.
