I Councilwoman Madrid made the following statement: "I want to thank all of you for coming tonight and I welcome this opportunity to be of service for the community of Azusa, for my community. I need to thank those people who made my victory and our victory possible and thats first of all my parents, my father Lucio Cruz, my mother Caroline Cruz, my sisters and my sons, my brothers in law and my nephews and also the many campaign workers and we had no existing campaign committee. I hadn't run before and we went from zero to sixty in about four days and were able to get the campaign off the ground and we mobilized more votes than the other candidates, luckily many more than the other candidates and that was based on what I call the quality of my bench. Just like in the NBA, I had extremely talented people assisting me, people that came in at different times and offered different services. I had a large number of people that worked on telephone banks, another group of people that went precinct walking, another group of people that worked on the preparation of my written materials and other individuals that helped me with the video, the commercial on local cable access and I feel very fortunate to be here tonight but what I feel more importantly is that I am merely a manifestation of you. I represent, I was voted because what I was articulating were the things you wanted to have in this community. You were looking for leadership, you were looking for responsibility and for direction and so I took no credit for that but merely being able to manifest those things -for---- you; for-_you; and so I accept this responsibility with great feelings of, well some trepidation, there are some 04/21/92 PAGE SIX Oath of Office to elected officials by Gloria Molina Crtfcts of election Statement by Cncl Naranjo Statement by Cncl Madrid fear of making mistakes but also opportunity to be of service to my community to give back what Azusa and the schools have given to me and to create the kind of community that we can be here in Azusa and that is the premiere community having everything that we want and need, so the people here can really flourish and I thank you for that opportunity". Mayor Moses made the following statement: Statement by Mayor Moses "As for myself, I have received the greatest honor that anyone could achieve in the City of Azusa or elsewhere as being Mayor. I do want to say that I am very honored, this has been my sixth term. You have confidence in me. I also want to say that I promise that I will give it my very best. I'll also promise that I will always be a gentleman up here, that regardless of anything and everything I will try to get along with my collegues. We all shook hands again and I hope this stays in solidarity I hope, for the betterment of the City. I think that we've all learned a little, that is, the ones that are up here, that sometimes you have to get burned sometimes a couple of times before you learn. But once again, my heart goes out to the citizens of Azusa and I just want to say to you that I'm going to be the very best servant anyone can to all of you here, that includes the people who voted for me and the people who did not vote for me because that is the American way, so I want to say to all of you thank you and God Bless each and every one of you, I love all of you, all of you the same.
