Thank You

Statement

Thank You.

Dear Friends,

Today we have a victory to celebrate, a moment to savor, and then an exciting campaign ahead of us. And I have a lot to be thankful for.

Thank you for all you did in this campaign. I am grateful who all of you who volunteered in these weeks and months, to my team, and everyone in the First District who has honored me with their support.

I also want to say thank you to my opponents -- Mike Brennan, Adam Cote, Mark Lawrence, Steve Meister, and Ethan Strimling. I know the sacrifices that running for office entails, and I appreciate the commitment, the energy, and the ideas they brought to the race.

In the five months ahead, we have a lot of work to do, but I'm looking forward to continuing the campaign with an even larger group of Maine voters. I'm eager to continue this essential conversation about the future of our country, and I hope that one day soon we'll look back and say 2008 was the year we brought real significant change to America, starting with true universal health care; an end to the war in Iraq; and economic, energy, and environmental policies that get our country back on the right track.

Again, thank you for joining this campaign and for your support.

All my best,
