Defeated

Okay, so it's over. I lost. He got 2,093 votes, and I got 1,914 votes.

Admittedly, I am disappointed. I thought for sure I would win, naive newcomer that I was. But I came damn close, just 179 votes short. I was a first-time candidate, vying for an open seat against a career state trooper with a spotless reputation and 40 years in Washington County, a place where Republicans have the edge.

Guess I don't get to drive around with those blue license plates that only state legislators get.
