Thank you!!!!!!

It's here! The big day! Please do me a favor and pat yourself on the back, you have all played a special role in my campaign. It's 2:30 am on Election Day, and the last thing the candidate wants to do is sleep. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, and Thank you to all of you for your love, support, and help during this campaign. I know we have family and friends from all over who will be watching to see how this pans out. I will update as soon as the results come in.
I look at the picture of Gram and think, when she was born, women did not have the right to vote. Now, with the voters support her grand daughter could be the first woman to represent the City of Tonawanda's 4th ward. I sure hope she is proud today.
I would like to give some shout outs (if I may):
Mom/Dad- By far the two that have kept me sane and focused this campaign. Trust me, that was no easy task. From the highs to lows, to the wanting to react to any negative comment, etc. This campaign made me a stronger person. I hope our hard work pays off tonight.
Jill/Gary- Jill is my campaign treasurer. Try getting $5 to go to BK from a generous donor and she will bite your hand off, at least I tried. Thank you to the both of you for all you did. Love ya both!
Awesome Austin- He will be my chauffer today. That will not be an easy task. But, his willingness to help and do what he can speaks volume of the kind of young man he is. I am so stinking proud of him!
David/Sheri/B/T- Your support from Florida means so much to me! Love you all!

This past weekend, my opponent decided to do a last ditch effort and do a lit drop through our ward. As I pulled up to a street, I saw his "army" of kids dropping his letter off door to door. As panic mode set in, my beloved family came to my defense. Thank you to Jeff, Sandra, Emma, and Aunt Sue for helping to distribute over 1,500 letters. You braved the cold weather and helped out more than you know. Thank you! I love ya!

During the course of my campaign we delivered over 8,000 pieces of mail. Thank you to all our volunteers who took time out of their day to help spread my message. Thank you to Becky and her beautiful family for your lit drop two weeks ago. We have had over 20 volunteers assist with phone calls, mailings, etc. You name it, they were there. You all rock! Thank you!

KDH- I have no words! You are an amazing person! Your design team created a logo that was placed on over 200 signs through out our ward. Thank you for all of your love and support! You and your family ROCK!

Adam/Amy- Love you guys! When this is over, put me down for babysitting.

R/S- Rooting all the way from NC! Thank you for everything!

UC/AP- Thank you so much for your support and love! You still have 4 hours to move to the COT in time to cast your vote.

AS/UG- Who am I kidding you won't read this! But, the thank you card is in the mail.

The Stoiber/Bunts family- Thank you so much for your support! Eric, you will make one amazing politician or campaign manager. Your family was a tremendous asset to our team! Thank you!

The point is there are so many people behind the scene, helping, the unsung heroes in this. Whatever happens today, happens. But rest assured, I am one lucky girl to have the family that I have. You are all invited to stop down to the American Legion (Main St, City of Tonawanda). The candidates will be there at 8pm. We will have pizza and wings. Results will start to come in after 9pm.
For my out of town family results can be viewed at any of the following websites:

I will also post results on my facebook pages. Grandma said she will wait up until 10pm tonight to hear the news. Love you all! To anyone who I may have missed, it was not intentional by any means! Now, I suppose I should try and get some sleep.

Love you,
Jenna
