Having your portrait on the official letterhead is quite a flex…not sure if it’s a good one, but it is what it is.

“I would like to thank my constituents for allowing me to serve…” nevermind. Best wishes, Andre!!

Comptroller Mendoza has established a hypocritical pattern. Let’s see how committed to it she is.

Didn’t think he would really do it.

Well now who will replace him?

Rep. Thapedi has been a good public servant, hard working and highly capable, with never a hint of scandal or improper motivation, and I wish him well.

Folks on this site certainly understand, better than most, how difficult legislative service has been in recent times. Turnover in the G.A. has been high for a reason. I think Andre has earned enough respect to have his resignation received with gratitude for his service.

The representative for you and me is officially gone. Best of luck.

He wasn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but he always dealt squarely with me and my clients. I wish him well.
