"My husband is running for city council in Long Beach and it's been a difficult race. His name is Joseph Naham. He didn't get many contributions or media coverage because he's running as a Green Party candidate. He's optimistic, because that's who he is, but there's a chance he might be a bit hurt by the results tonight. So I got him these flowers to thank him. He put his whole heart into the race. This wasn't a power play for him. He genuinely wanted to help the community. I just want him to know that no matter what happens, he's planting seeds, and they're gonna grow, and that's what it's all about."
