Heath Flora: Thanking his supporters for votes, his opponent for friendship

I want to thank the citizens of the 12th Assembly District for the confidence they showed in me on Election Day. I will work every day on your behalf to make sure our interests and values are represented in Sacramento. As a newcomer to the political arena, I ask for your patience, support and prayers.

I also want to congratulate my opponent, Ken Vogel, for his service and friendship through a very competitive race.

Whether you supported Ken or myself, I ask that you stay involved and informed so that you can continue to make a difference. For those of you who did not vote for either of us, or did not partake in the election, I hope you will get involved and help us make the Central Valley the very best it can be moving into the future.

Heath Flora, Assembly Member, District 12
