I just want to let you all know

that you are a top notch bunch of people in my book. So is O'Malley.

I am so sorry. I do hate to see him go like this. As hard and as expensive as running must be I understand it but hate that it has happened. He brought so many good conversations, ideas and experience to the table and now it will just be the two.

Having been where you are I know how it feels and I would not wish this on such a good group of people as you all are.

Grieve and then find your next best option. Whoever it is it will be yours so go for it and good luck.

I believe he has a very large future ahead in national politics. I look forward to seeing where he goes next.

to all of you and the incredible job you did supporting him.

He learned a lot and running against Clinton and Sanders was a no win scenario for him but at the same time will not be a bad mark against him in the future.
