Thank you, Peter Brown!

I was going to entertain the reason why Peter Brown did not earn a spot in the run off in December but I decided against that sort of negative outlook.

Instead, I would like to thank the Peter Brown campaign.

Thank you for believing in Houston.

Thank you for inspiring so many folks from diverse demographics. It was cool to step into the Heights Theatre … and see it packed with a young people that you thought you were at the United Nations.

Thank you for telling us what you envisioned and how you wanted to make Houston “an even better Houston.”

Thank you for staying positive for so long … and I understand that the last week … was just that … the last week.

Thank you for challenging the paradigm and setting the new standards in Houston politics. Do you not think that we will now have mobile campaigns, tweet ups, contests, multi-lingual yard signs and innovative ways of using social media?

Thank you for having two great, awesome young and passionate staffers … Mike and Matt were great at keeping in touch with me.

Most of all … thank you for running for office … you were always the underdog and not many folks believed you had a chance. Your impact to this campaign was that I challenged myself to think … that Houston can be that word class city that other cities will emulate.
