Thanks for supporting my run for Carlsbad City Council and for voting for me yesterday.  About 4000 other Carlsbad residents did the same.  (That's 6.2% of the vote.)

Ann Kulchin (27%) kept her Council seat and Keith Blackburn (24%) will join the Council.  Congratulations to them both and thanks to the other candidates, too - Farrah Douglas, Thomas K. Arnold, and Glenn Bernard - for running for office.

Please know that your confidence and trust mean a great deal to me.  It's been encouraging and fun to work together toward our goals for Carlsbad.  I believe we had an impact on the tone, methods, participation, and priorities of this election and I look forward to moving together beyond it.  

I also appreciate the interest and messages of support from elsewhere in North County and all around the world - - every continent except Antarctica - -  especially the outpouring of virtual high fives from other people challenged / blessed with autism.  Every time I faced an interview or a crowded, noisy room full of people at a forum or debate, I remembered your words of encouragement.

To give you an idea, in less than 3 months, this website has had 28,000 hits!

I will update it and keep it going so we can continue to work together to make Carlsbad clean, lean, and green.

First up:  everyone please come to the Faraday Building tomorrow night (Thurs Nov 6) at 5:30 for a meeting about the new power plant.  Details:  www.carlsbadconnected.com

5:30 Open House, 6:00 Presentation, 6:30 Public Input
