Greetings Members, Partners, Associates, and Friends! 
 
irst, I would like to congratulate all candidates in Baltimore City, and the state of Maryland overall who won the General Election on Tuesday! I am abbreviating my writing here to avoid a very extensive email message.This was a very important election, as they all are, but these candidates really put their heart and soul into their campaigns! They were out on the streets, met with their constituents, attended meetings and special events, and the like! Truthfully, it has been an unbelievable tsunami of wins all across the country, but I could not be any prouder than I am right now of our elected leaders in the 41st State Legislative District! Their campaign staff worked alongside them day and night to help propel their candidate(s) to victory! That’s not an easy task! So, a Huge Congratulations to all, and I’m sure they will make their rounds to our respective communities in the near future so that we may offer our congratulations in person!
