+Hello Everyone!
+
+I am once again declaring my candidacy for the Technical Committee.
+
+This last year I have learned so much about OpenStack and our amazing
+community. There is never a shortage of work to be done and I feel
+there is still a lot I can do to help the community as a part of the TC.
+
+I served as TC Vice Chair during the second half of my term and I felt
+like I was able to do a lot to help support Mohammed, the chair and other
+members of the TC. My work in coordinating the new office hours and our
+time at the upcoming PTG will enable the future TC to be more accessible
+and productive. I also lead the community goal to improve the onboarding
+documentation, further lowering the barrier for new contributors.
+
+If elected, I will continue bridging our community with the kubernetes
+community. I am actively facilitating the conversations between the TC
+and the k8s Technical Steering Committee at the upcoming PTG meetings
+to share insight between both of our communities and generally share
+knowledge about keeping open source communities healthy.
+
+I would also like to take a more active role in pushing the unification
+of the community around a  single CLI to simplify openstack operations
+to better support our users and lessen the load on developers. I think
+a good first step would be to work with the CLI/SDK team to build a list
+of items that are blocking project teams from fully implementing all their
+features in the openstack client. From there we can figure out what is
+missing from the list, which teams are affected by which blocking items
+and prioritize what needs to be worked on first.
+
+Thank you for your time and consideration.
+
+As I said in my platform last year, I love this community and all the
+awesome people in it, serving on the TC is a great experience and an honor.
+
