Dear Friends,
I want to thank you for your support since December 23, 2008.
We ran a significant and positive campaign. We kept it positive and respectable. To those who volunteered: sent emails, made calls, worked polls, gave of their resources, we are especially grateful to you.
I want to correct the Chronicle’s characterization of my position relating to the results of the March 2, 2010 Republican Primary (“Incumbents Base Losses on Ethnic Bias” 3/4/10). I have never in my life directly felt the effects of racial bias, nor have I ever accused anyone of exhibiting prejudice against me due to my Hispanic heritage. This includes my assessment of the Republican voters in this week’s Primary Election.
I am more determined than ever to work for our Republican principles and the leaders who uphold them.
Now, more than ever, we need to rally around qualified and credible leadership. Our future and our way of life is at stake.
Thank you and God bless,
