Tomorrow we start again. Tomorrow we bring together a coalition of every label, of every stripe, of every sort - the kind of coalition that knows citizens matter more than the politics of the downtown crowd and city hall.
Tomorrow tell your neighbors and your friends and your colleagues you were here today.
Tell them we need them.
Our city is too great to allow it to follow the recipe book that has failed too many great cities of higher taxes, higher crime and failing schools.
It is too great to continue to look the other way and fail to take responsibility, our sacred responsibility for the education and the safety of our children.
This is the city that is home of the Fisk Jubilee Singers and Country Music. It will NOT become a city known for the sounds of 100 homicides a year.
This is the city that stood and gave women everywhere the right to vote.
This is the city that can welcome republicans, democrats, and independents to set aside all labels to do what is right, to govern well by being effective and work together with our neighbors to solve our region's biggest challenges.
Let's celebrate tonight and tomorrow let's suit up to fight.
With Gratitude,Â
