As the final election results are now in, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to everyone who supported my campaign for Contra Costa County Superior Court.

While the outcome was not what I had hoped for, I am deeply honored by the trust and confidence placed in me by the 73,401 voters who supported my candidacy. Running for judicial office has been one of the most meaningful experiences of my life, and I am grateful for every volunteer, friend, colleague, family member, and community member who encouraged me along the way.

I also want to congratulate Judge Jesse Hsieh on his decisive victory. Judge Hsieh ran a professional, respectful, and ethical campaign, and I commend him for earning the confidence of the voters of Contra Costa County. I wish him continued success as he serves our community from the bench.

Although this campaign has come to an end, my commitment to public service remains unchanged. Whether as a prosecutor, attorney, volunteer, or community member, I will continue working to promote justice, fairness, and the rule of law.

Thank you again for your support, friendship, and encouragement throughout this journey. I am humbled by the experience and optimistic about the future.

With gratitude,

Valery Polyakov

People of Ukraine are suffering. russian invaders are bombing children hospitals and maternity wards. Ukraine is fighting pretty much alone, but the Ukrainian Armed Forces are doing really good job decimating russian thugs.
Please, support Ukraine as much as you can. You can help by providing moral support, lobbing your elected official to implement tough economic sanctions of russia, and giving money!
