TO ALL MY FRIENDS AND SUPPORTERS:

While we may have come up short last night, we got more votes than any other Republican who ran, whether they won or lost, except for the Mayor. Not bad for a "nobody" with no prior experience running for office and very low financial resources. From the bottom of my heart, I thank you all for your support, friendship and good wishes. Everyday of this campaign, as I met and got to know each of you (whether in person or on-line) I won and those are the victories in life that matter most. Thank you all again and God Bless you and our great City of New York.

Joe Mendola
