Dear neighbors,
Despite the hard work and dedicated efforts of everyone involved, our campaign to send someone representative of Assembly District 5 residents was within approximately 1,000 votes. I would like to take this opportunity to again congratulate Assemblywoman Marilyn Dondero Loop.
She will represent our district during the upcoming legislature. And in doing so, I hope she has a better understanding that Nevadans expect more and deserve better. I truly hope the one good bill she sponsored during the last lesson — a law that protects donors of perishable food to our homeless — is the beginning and not the end of well-reasoned legislation or communication with her constituents.
The results of the general election will also be a beginning for me. Since deciding to run for office, I have placed many of my charitable efforts and community service commitments on hold, as I know many of our campaign volunteers did as well. For the last several days, I have been prioritizing how I might better service my community.
In the days and weeks ahead, you will see some small but noticeable changes to this site. However, I have decided to maintain it as a place to share ideas and take action to make our community a better place, especially as it pertains to nonprofit organizations and upcoming legislation.
Please Have A Safe Veterans Day And Honor Those Who Served.
Perhaps it is only fitting that I am writing and posting this letter on the eve of Veterans Day. I can think of no greater service or sacrifice than to serve our county as thousands of brave men and women do every day and have done since the beginning of our nation.
While I never had the honor of serving my country in the armed forces, given I was childhood cancer survivor, I think of our men and women serving abroad almost every day. As a real estate agent, I meet many young couples who serve in the military, and several volunteered on my campaign. Thank you. You inspire me as many have been inspired by your service before me.
The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. — Abraham Lincoln
Likewise, the world will little note what was said during the campaign. But all of us, together, can do things that match our ability and resolve to make Nevada great. And perhaps, ensure our country moves once again in the right direction.
Please visit from time to time to see how you can help. And if you are in need, never hesitate to contact me. It is the least I can do to thank you for your time, energy, efforts, and votes during this past year.
Respectfully,
Tim Williams
Your neighbor
