Philip Tuttle for Manchester

Although yesterday’s election didn’t go our way, the mission remains the same: to adopt the city of Manchester and help rewrite its future. That purpose doesn’t change — only the path we take to achieve it might.

I want to sincerely thank everyone who supported me throughout this journey. To my wife, Kaylin, and our children — thank you for walking beside me every step of the way. You embraced this journey with joy and strength, and I’m so grateful to have shared it with you.

To my friends, both old and new, who stood with me, volunteered, encouraged, and believed in the vision — thank you. The real reward in running is the people you meet and the community you build along the way.

Congratulations to all who earned victories yesterday. While we may not agree on everything, I look forward to finding common ground and working together to make Manchester the great city we all know it can be.

Blessings to you all — and here’s to continuing the work of building a stronger Manchester.
