From FX's email:

Congratulations to Norman Yee on winning this historically close race for District 7 Supervisor. 

132 choice votes separated Norman Yee from me out of 35,351 votes cast. While I initially committed my campaign to requesting a recount, candidate fund raising restrictions prevented me from raising the necessary funds in the time allotted to pay for a recount... 

Thank you to my family, my colleagues in labor, and all my dedicated supporters throughout this campaign, especially the residents of District 7, many of whom I grew up with and share lifelong friendships. I will always be grateful for their support.
