Following the news of our General Election victory on Tuesday, November 3rd, I took a moment to celebrate with a fantastic group of friends, supporters and volunteers at our post-election party at Aubergine Cafe. Their contributions and effort made a huge difference in the final results and I couldn't have done it with out them.
I also took a moment to snap a picture with my hard-working and dedicated staff. It was a long and grueling campaign and their effort was seen and heard throughout the district.
