I want to sincerely thank all who contributed to my run for Richmond City Council.
The last two years sitting on the council have been extremely rewarding for me and I am thankful for the opportunity to directly affect the lives of Richmond’s citizens. My goal in this race was to be able to continue this service to my community.
It was also about representing the Sikh community to the larger whole of Richmond as a voice for the diversity of the city.
While I did not secure a seat on the city council in a hotly contested race where ten candidates, four of them incumbents, fought for three council seats, I am proud of our campaign. It built a great deal of name recognition for me in the city and increased awareness of Richmond’s Sikh community.
None of this would have been possible without the help of donors and volunteers. It took many resources to get out my message of fighting crime in Richmond through mailers, websites, signs, stickers and e-mails. It took dedicated volunteers to walk the neighborhoods, make phone calls, stand on the corner with signs and provide a presence at the polls.
I am incredibly thankful for all of this assistance and humbled by the outpouring of support.
Sincerely,
Harpreet S. Sandhu
