Carmen Bucco Former Candidate, Reflects on Campaign and Future

In the aftermath of a vigorous and heartfelt campaign, I want to extend a warm congratulations to my opponent, Ms. McIver, on her Congressional win, as well as to all victorious candidates and candidates the put their hearts and souls across New Jersey that did not have the outcome they desired. The dedication, sacrifice, and hard work exhibited by all participants in this election exemplify a shared commitment to creating positive change within our communities.

Reflecting on the journey, I am deeply grateful for the outpouring of support received from the community. “There is no loss in this experience, only more opportunities to make a difference in our state and country,” I am, embracing the over 50,000 votes cast as a testament to the enduring connections and emergent friendships. 

Each interaction, vote, and personal story shared during the campaign has enriched this endeavor, highlighting the collective resolve to touch hearts and reshape perspectives. “I attribute this to a sense of victory not to the electoral outcome, but to the profound and inspiring relationships formed throughout the process’.

Standing by a lifelong belief in perseverance and justice, I am committed to continuing these efforts, viewing this moment as a steppingstone toward future advocacy and engagement. Energized by past experiences as an underdog, “This is not the end but a new beginning, a call to keep pursuing what is right and just.” 

As the campaign concludes, I invite supporters and the broader community to join in continuous, collaborative effort to advance shared values and vision. Together, we can envision a future filled with opportunities for dialogue and transformation, remaining steadfast in our dedication to New Jersey and the larger nation. So please keep following us and our foundation Bucco’s Rising Stars.

Thank you again for all the love and support during this amazing journey. 

Carmen Bucco
