"Thank You" and "The End"

(Note: UtahPolicy.com has invited Mike Winder and Kevin Fayles, two candidates for mayor of West Valley City to share their campaign experiences this year. To read earlier posts and biographies of the two candidates, see the Campaign Journal page.)

Mike Winder: Hooray!  We survived Election Day and even pulled out a victory.  I am so grateful to the many people who made this campaign a success.  Grandma Gwen Winder's garage was "campaign headquarters", and she was great to put up with hundreds of yard signs there for months.

Kevin Fayles:  Well, I lost. Even though I figured winning was a long shot, it's still painful. But what a journey it has been!

I began my mayoral candidacy in April because I felt my professional and community service experience would benefit the residents of West Valley
City.  My campaign experience only confirmed that to me.
