Jason Gastrich Concedes the Race to Arnold

October 8, 2003

After 100% of the vote came in, Mr. Gastrich released this concession speech.

"I'd like to thank everyone that supported me and this campaign.  There were some wonderful people working behind the scenes to help make everything happen.  I'd also like to thank my family for their love and support.  I've been truly blessed."

"Now is the time to respect Arnold and the decision that the majority of California's voters made.  Even though Arnold and I differed on some very important social issues like abortion and the gay agenda, he is a fiscal conservative and his zeal to help the state will be better for us than the previous administration."

"I'm looking forward to being involved in my city's, my state's and my nation's politics.  I'll be seeking opportunities to speak against the immorality in California.  I'll also use the platform that I've been given to reiterate my vision for the state."

"Please continue to prayerfully support me and my endeavors.  You can come to my web site for updates on my activities, more press releases, and information on how you can help."

"Thanks again for your support.  My prayers are with you and the rest of our great state and country."

Sincerely,

Gastrich for Governor, '03
