Dear Friends,

Last night was a tough night if you happened to have a “D” by your name, and our race was one of those caught up by the tsunami that swept across America on this election day.

I could not have been more proud of how we campaigned and worked to improve state government. Our team ran an extremely clean and civil race and I never once mentioned my opponent by name. I simply shared my fresh new ideas of how to generate more money for local schools and county governments--and we did so without slinging any mud or any name calling.

In my heart, I’m convinced that our efforts in bringing important issues of accountability and openness to light, helped create a new awareness in the minds of the electorate. For all of you who worked hard for those same reasons, I applaud you and thank you.

For me, it’s time to get back to the real world. I’ll be re-focusing on my business and be dedicated to paying off the debt that I incurred in this effort. Please stay in touch and continue to share your ideas of how, together, we can improve our great state.

Sincerely,

LJ Bryant
