Today, Assemblyman Jordan Cunningham (R-San Luis Obispo) released the following statement in response to both San Luis Obispo County and Santa Barbara County’s election updates:

“I am honored that the voters have elected me to a third term to represent them in the state Assembly — in the highest turnout election in history.  I will continue to work hard for them, to solve problems, and to be an independent voice for the Central Coast and the people of California.

“I want to thank my wife and kids for their support and good humor.  I want to thank my campaign team for securing this win. I want to thank our awesome volunteers and supporters that got our message out and got folks out to vote.

“We have a lot of work left to do. I am excited to get back to it.”
