Dear YWN,

We just got the news we’ve been working toward for months – the voters of New York City have re-elected Mike Bloomberg as Mayor.

In an election year that saw incumbents across the nation face incredible challenges, Mike took his vision to the people and their response was to buck the national trend and continue Mike’s record of independence, progress and results. Despite facing the worst environment for incumbents since 1994, Mike stood virtually alone among incumbents across the nation to win re-election and boldly continue his march for change, for innovation, for a better New York.

With your support and enthusiasm, we built the most comprehensive, far-reaching campaign in the history of our great city. We were honored with over 450 endorsements, including 63 daily and weekly newspapers, 42 unions representing over 750,000 members, over 250 civic leaders, some of the city’s leading policy groups, and dozens of elected officials. We knocked on over 2 million doors. Our volunteers logged over 100,000 hours and made hundreds of thousands of phone calls. And tonight, all of that hard work paid off, and it was clearly worth the effort.

Thank you again for all your support. It made all the difference.

Sincerely,

Bradley Tusk
Campaign Manager
