Chariel Dye for School Board North
As I reflect on this incredible journey, my heart is filled with gratitude. ❤️
To everyone who walked alongside me on this campaign trail, supported me, encouraged me, mentored me, donated, prayed for me, and believed in me, THANK YOU!
To every platform, organization, and space that gave me a voice during this candidacy, thank you for allowing me to share my vision, my passion, and my purpose.
To the 18,415 people who cast their votes for me in my very first election, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. You trusted me, stood with me, and gave me something I will forever cherish. Your support means more than words can ever express.
To my family and, most importantly, my significant other, my man ❤️, thank you for pushing me when I felt tired, reminding me never to give up, and helping me remember WHY I blazed this trail in the first place. Your love, patience, encouragement, and unwavering support carried me through moments when I needed it most.
To all the wonderful people I met along this journey, thank you for the conversations, the connections, the wisdom, the laughter, and the memories. You have all left a lasting impression on my heart.
This campaign gave me so much more than an election experience. It introduced me to a version of myself that I never knew existed. A version that was bold, courageous, resilient, determined, and unapologetically willing to step into her purpose. And what an AMAZING discovery that has been!
I may have entered this journey as a candidate, but I am walking away with growth, new relationships, deeper purpose, and a renewed sense of what is possible.
This is not the end of my story. This is the beginning of another chapter.
Thank you for believing in me. Thank you for standing with me. Thank you for being part of my journey.
With love and a heart full of gratitude,
Chariel “Minnette” Dye💙💛
