To my patients, I would like to express my sincerest gratitude for everything you've taught me about medicine and life. I am here today for you because of you. To the 150 or so people in the gallery today, and many who are watching from home, thank you for being part of my journey. The gallery today includes people I went to high school and medical school with, my high school professors and medical school professors, my nursing and GP colleagues, as well as many Labour supporters, candidates, volunteers, and New Zealand council members. There is my 89-year-old grandpa, my mother, who has been my biggest strength and supporter, as well as our campaign manager, Emma Pike, who despite having two jobs led an exceptional team. There is Max Kristofferson who despite a shoulder injury put up 200 hoardings. There is Simon Jenkins who helped us doorknock thousands of houses while wearing a moon boot on his fractured foot. There is Mike Tribe, our Labour Electorate Committee chair, and Jaspreet Saluja, our phone coordinator. There is Bill Barwood and Sandy Kristofferson who coordinated the delivery of 56,000 pamphlets.
