However, after giving it careful consideration the challenges of running a growing technology company and family are simply too demanding. As of today I’ve decided that I will no longer be a candidate for the Newport City Council. Many of you have been so supportive of my many initiatives and for this I am humbled and eternally filled with gratitude. thank you each of you for all of your love and support and allowing me to serve this great city.”
