INBOX: Thank You Ari Gluck

Ari,

You should be incredibly proud of what you accomplished. Putting your name on the ballot, standing up for what you believe in, and earning the support of more than 2,245 voters is no small feat. Those votes represent real people who believed in your message and your vision.

While the outcome wasn’t what we hoped for, this campaign proved that there is a strong and growing base of support behind you. Especially considering the challenges, censorship, and obstacles along the way, what was built here is something meaningful and worth recognizing.

A special acknowledgment to Yitzchaki. Campaigns don’t run themselves, and the level of organization, strategy, coordination, and execution throughout this race reflected the work of a dedicated campaign manager who gave this effort everything he had. The countless hours, difficult decisions, and behind-the-scenes leadership rarely get the recognition they deserve, but they were instrumental in building this campaign into a serious operation.

And to Yankee Junik, thank you for being a constant presence and trusted partner throughout the campaign. Your commitment, support, and willingness to do whatever was needed helped keep the machine moving every day.

Together, you built a professional, well-run operation that many campaigns would be proud to call their own. Elections are won and lost, but the relationships built, the supporters energized, and the foundation laid will last long after a single race is over.

Congratulations to all of you on Team Ari, for having the courage to put yourselves out there and give it everything you had. That alone is something most people never do.

The future of crown Heights remains bright.
