I am so humbled and gratified by the tremendous support from every corner of
Council District 5!We are up by over 2,000 votes and over 10

🧵I am full of gratitude today as I reflect on our campaign. While we await
absentee ballots & the RCV process, it is unlikely that we will prevail.
I am so proud of the community we forged & ideas we championed, and
thankful beyond words for our supporters. A few thoughts: (1/7)

While last night didn’t go as we had hoped, there were some bright spots.
I’m thrilled to have a brand new co-District Leader, Alex Bores, who I know
will be an incredible partner. His support throughout this race was
unwavering, and I’m honored to call him a friend. (2/5)— Kim Moscaritolo (@kimmosc)
