Today, I conclude my campaign the same way I began by saying—Thank you, Baltimore.

We have all worked diligently in continuing

the fundamental tenets of the democratic process.

For those who questioned my intent when inquiring about the counting process, I

would like to say my inquiry was not directed towards any individual, but towards

the current infrastructure in place.

Questioning the process and its effectiveness

is not the same as questioning the validity of a candidate’s results.

We should all

have questions when there are real issues regarding the voting process.
