Friends,

Although we were not victorious in our fight to impact education across Malden, we did an amazing job to involve a whole lot of people in the conversation to improve public schools. Sending congratulations to Jennifer Spadafora for her victory tonight.

We went from being virtually unknown to having more than 500 local supporters! During our journey we maintained the belief that the families and children of Malden will ALWAYS be better off when they are informed on the real issues regarding their schools and communities. We noticed throughout our campaign that the simple act of speaking to voters had an enormous impact on fighting misinformation and spreading information on real solutions to improve our shared cause.

That's why we will continue to engage our community and meet them where they are, from the pulpit to the parking lot, and ensure that their voices are heard.

Thank you so much for your overwhelming support of my candidacy and our shared cause. I know there are many worthy causes that compete for your time, but I am humbled by your conviction to continue fighting for our children’s future. It is motivated, engaged folks like you that create the change others only wish for. A year ago I could not have imagined making it this far, and I am so grateful for your love and encouragement!

Onward,
Mekka
