“We wish to thank everyone from the bottom of our hearts for all the support. Everyday, in rain or shine, we fought for the city we love so much. With nothing in return, we all contributed to the cause because we believe in good government and protecting working families. They said the odds were stacked against us. They said the people would be fooled. But, they were wrong. In the end we, the people prevailed. Now the onus is on our leaders to lead and our community to come and pull together. We’ve got to come to a sense of agreement. It won’t be easy, but we know that the spirit of Chula Vista is one that cares and fills in where there are voids. So, thank you Chula Vista for taking a stand. You are the heroes. You. Never forget that.” concluded Herrera in a packed house, surrounded by Chula Vista volunteers and supporters.
