The Voters Have Spoken
The voters have spoken in District 6, and unfortunately, we've come up short.
We ran the best, drama-free campaign we could. We remained competitive to the end with one of the cycle's best field operations, and canvassed and courted District 6 voters like never before.
And even though we were outspent by an 8 to 1 margin, we still received over 21,500 votes in the general election – a record number of votes for a Democrat in a District 6 race. In fact, Tommy's vote total exceeds even that of the winning candidates in the D-4 and D-8 city council races.
Thank you for your support over the last 14 months, and congratulations to Councilmember Chris Cate on his re-election to San Diego City Council.

Make a Contribution to Our Debt Relief Effort
Right or wrong, political campaigns don't run on air – they run on money. That's why so much of our e-mail correspondence with you during the campaign was centered around donation appeals. Despite the generosity shown by so many of you, our campaign remains in debt – and repaying that debt is a lot more difficult for the losing candidate. We didn't have access to the funding my opponent and other campaigns had, so please make an on-line contribution if you can, or contact me for how you can make a more sizable contribution to our debt relief effort.
Chris Cate's Chief of Staff's Unprovoked, Unprofessional Tweet
We ran a energetic, drama-free, transparent campaign for District 6. Even after being outspent 8 to 1, we put a competitive canvassing operation in the field, increased voter turnout, addressed difficult community issues head-on, took questions in multiple forums, and connected with thousands of our neighbors who were ready for change. So it was disappointing that Mr. Cate's chief of staff, days after the election, posted an entirely unprofessional and unprovoked remark that spoke volumes with a disdainful sense of entitlement.
Local San Diego Media Weighs In on District 6 Race
Our District 6 race received strong media attention during the final month of our campaign, including a David Garrick piece in the San Diego Union-Tribune, an appearance on Good Morning San Diego, and a face-off with the GOP incumbent on Politically Speaking with Gene Cubbison, all of which gave Tommy an opportunity to discuss his vision for the district, including rebuilding our broken roads, addressing our city's housing crisis and need for more fire stations, and my opponent's ethical lapses.
