MESSAGE TO SUPPORTERS
I want to thank each and every person that supported my campaign for the California State Senate. To everyone who volunteered their time on the campaign, financially supported my race, allowed the use of their name as a public endorsement, cast a vote, or simply told a friend about my campaign --- your support means a great deal to Sheri and me.
I want to give special thanks to California’s firefighters, deputy sheriffs, police officers, and highway patrol officers. While I deeply appreciate your support of my candidacy, I am thankful every day that you are always there to answer the call that comes when someone is in danger. No one can thank you enough for your selfless service and sacrifice to our communities.
While the election results are quite far from the outcome we all worked so hard to achieve, these results are the will of the majority of those who cast votes in this election. Since entering public life I have strongly argued that government must respect the will of the people it serves. That was my position when I had the honor of serving in the State Assembly. That is my position now.
I am comforted knowing that I campaigned hard on the issues that we all believe are important to improving the overall quality of life in Riverside County. What future public service is in store for me is uncertain. I do intend to remain involved in the issues affecting our region and state.
This summer and fall I will be actively campaigning for Senator John McCain and his bid for the presidency. I will also be doing all that I can to assist former Palm Springs Police Chief Gary Jeandron win the election in 80th Assembly District. I hope you will join me in supporting them as well.
Thank each and every one you again for all of your kind and generous support. It means the world to Sheri and me.
May God bless you all.
Yours truly,
Russ Bogh
