DONATE TODAY

The last 3.5 months have been quite an experience. I am thankful to God for giving me this opportunity. I am also extremely thankful for my wife and son who have stood next to me and always support me. My wife is amazing and without her I am nothing. I am also thankful for my family, especially my parents. They are always there through the good and bad, and worked extremely hard during this campaign.

One of the best things about this campaign was getting the chance to meet many wonderful people. They shared their stories and concerns with me. They prayed for my family and me. They supported and voted for me. For that I will always be grateful.

That would not have happened if it wasn't for all of you. You all worked really hard. Without you, I would not have been able to come this far. We accomplished much and I am honored that you were by my side and am very thankful for you.

Although we did not win, please do not be discouraged. This is just the beginning. We were going against the party line, which is very difficult to beat. Many people just voted down the line/column without knowing or understanding who the candidates are. The party line has been in place for over 100 years. A few weeks ago, the federal courts decided/ruled with the democrats to get rid of the party line, but they did not apply that ruling to the Republicans. If something is unconstitutional for one group of people, shouldn't it be unconstitutional for all?

Anyway, I am really thankful for all of you. For fighting the good fight and for being courageous for standing up and supporting me during my campaign. I will continue to fight for Korean Americans, for Asian Americans and for those in our community who are hurting and suffering.

And as always, if there is anything I can do to help you, please let me know.

Humbly Yours,

George

저에게 지난 3.5개월동안이 참으로 귀중한 경험이었습니다. 그리고 이런 기회를 주신 하나님께 감사드립니다. 먼저 항상 옆에서 응원해준 아내와 아들, 그리고 좋은 일이든 나쁜 일이든, 그 때마다 항상 함께 해준 가족들, 특별히 부모님께 감사드립니다. 이번 캠페인 동안 저희 모두는 매우 열심히 일했습니다.

캠페인을 통해 가장 좋았던 점 중 하나는 많은 좋은 분들을 많이 만날 수 있다는 점이었습니다. 그분들은 그분들만의 이야기와 고민을 저와 공유해주셨고 저와 가족을 위해 기도해주었습니다. 다시 한번 저를 위해 지지해주시고 투표해주신 분들에게 감사의 마음을 전합니다.

여러분 모두가 아니었다면 이런 귀중한 경험을 할 수 없었을 것입니다. 모든 분들 정말 고생하셨습니다. 여러분이 없었다면 저는 여기까지 올 수 없었을 것입니다. 캠페인을 통해 저와 여러분은 많은 것을 이루며 배웠고, 여러분들과 함께 일함이 저에게는 큰 영광이었고 이로 인해 감사할 수 있었습니다.

비록 승리하지 못하였더라도 낙심하지 마시기 바랍니다. 이것은 시작에 불과합니다. 우리는 이기기가 매우 어려운 파티 라인에 반대하고 있었습니다. 많은 사람들이 후보자가 누구인지 모르거나 이해하지 못한 채 라인/칼럼에 투표했습니다. 당 노선은 100년 넘게 유지되어 왔습니다. 몇 주 전, 연방 법원은 민주당과 함께 정당 노선을 없애기로 결정/판결했지만, 그 판결을 공화당에는 적용하지 않았습니다. 정당노선이 위헌이면, 즉 정당하지 않다면, 특정 집단뿐만 아니라 전체에게도 이 판결을 적용했어야 하지 않을까요?

다시한번 여러분 모두에게 정말 감사드립니다. 선한 싸움을 싸워주시고 용기를 내어 캠페인 기간 동안 저를 지지해 주셔서 감사합니다. 저는 계속해서 한국계 미국인, 아시아계 미국인, 상처받고 고통받는 우리 지역사회의 사람들을 위해 싸울 것입니다.

그리고 늘 그랬듯, 제가 도와드릴 수 있는 일이 있으면 알려주시기 바랍니다.

Humbly Yours,
George
