A Message From Rochelle

Hello:

I want to first thank the voters of the 81st District for having enough confidence in me to nominate me as their democratic candidate for state representative.  I truly appreciate your vote.

This campaign was very hard work and I could not have done it without the support of my family and friends. It especially took a great deal of support/help from my immediate family members and a great deal of commitment from them.  We campaigned, daily. Some of my family members even took their vacations the week before and the week of to help me with my campaign.  We went out everyday, except Sundays.  If it rained, people came to the office and we made calls.  My intention was to make some type of personal contact with as many voters, as possible.  Just know that it takes that kind of dedication from people to really win a race.  Although, I am sure that the Walton name helped a lot, we still had to get the "name" out there and we had to counter-act the negative publicity.

I would like to add that...I am the type of person who always wants to see everybody happy and successful.  I am not at all comfortable with the fact that in order to win somebody has to lose -- no matter how "negative" the other person is.  So, please know that my "win" IS bitter-sweet because I whole heartedly supported all of those Unity PAC endorsed candidates who ran for office, yesterday.  Especially, the ones who I had a personal relationship with and worked with on a regular basis throughout this campaign.  That is why I could not be as excited as I would have, because I wanted us "all" to win.

Finally, I want to thank everyone who did ANYTHING to help make my race a success. My parents, my mother, my husband, my daughter, my sister, my brother-in-law, my best friend, nieces & nephew and my sisters/brothers in Christ were just awesome.

Love,
Rochelle
