"I plan to take some time off this afternoon, relax and take a ride on my Harley"

In politics, we have situational friends and those who are true blue. Mike Newman is a true friend. Since I have known Mike, he is always been accessible, caring and he has been personally very supportive of me. He is someone who contributes to this community, whether it is at his job or as a City Council member in many ways that is not always known to people.

The final results for the Ward 3 are not in but I called Mike this morning to thank him for his friendship and his agreeing to run for another term. When the final numbers come in, I hope to congratulate Mike, again.

"I would like to thank my supporters and the citizens of Eureka for tentatively voting me in for another term," said Mike. "Until the final numbers come in, I will continue to be a bridge builder in my role as a Eureka City Council member to bring economic prosperity to Eureka and our region".

This afternoon, "I plan to take some time  this afternoon, relax and take a ride on my Harley which I haven't done in three months".
